Case Study
Fully-managed Resourcing-As-A-Service Deployment
SSE Renewables
Context
After a period of rapid growth, and a large contingent labour base, the customer sought a fit-for-purpose and value-driven resource capability to augment capability and capacity quickly to meet business demands.
Solution
Sword has deployed a 35 FTE mutli-disciplinary service team, across 6 technical domains including Data, Information, Digital, Apps, OT and Networks, supporting BAU, Projects and Transformation activity, governed by a comprehensive yet flexible Scope of Services and a dedicated Customer Experience Manager.
Outcome
SSE Renewables has a high-level outcome-based managed capacity of expert capability, with complete resource flexibility. They retain continuity of knowledge, resource flexibility, and a KPI-driven service governance model instead of contingent labour they would traditionally manage themselves.
