Consultancy Advice

Amor Group provides shared services consultancy, implementation and deployment services to public sector organisations looking to achieve radical cost savings.

In 2007 Amor Group was appointed to evaluate NHS Orkney’s IT organisation. The capability and capacity of Orkney Islands Council IT organisation was also investigated with the intention that the Council provides an ICT operation as a service on behalf of NHS Orkney. Amor Group performed a comprehensive management consultancy review of ICT operations across NHS Orkney, with a view to achieving in house or equivalent savings through sharing services with other providers. It then carried out a capability and readiness check at the Council’s IT organisation. A Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) was formulated to enable one public service body to be serviced by another.
