Frequently asked questions

How is the scope agreed?

We discuss sites, activities, existing systems, requirements and desired outcomes, then agree work and responsibilities.

Can you support an existing system?

Yes. We assess what is in place and agree targeted improvements or continuing support.

Is support on-site or remote?

Delivery is agreed around the work. Site assessments may need access; meetings and document review may be remote.

How long does it take?

Timing depends on readiness, scope and team availability. A realistic programme follows the initial assessment.

What must our organisation contribute?

A responsible contact, relevant information and commitment to implement actions. System ownership remains with your organisation.
