We help IT leaders succeed!
The role of an IT manager can be a lonely one, where there is rarely a credible counterpart to share ideas and challenges with. With Co-Pilot, IT leaders have access to MissionPoint’s team of specialist advisors, our structural capital and analytical services.
Co-Pilot aims to ensure that IT support is continuously modernised and streamlined through continuous business intelligence and the maintenance of a 12-month rolling IT plan. Through close cooperation, we keep abreast of your business and IT environment, which gives us the conditions to provide the most relevant proactive advice and assist in prioritisation and choices/decisions regarding changes in the IT environment.
Since the service is based on a structured collaboration model instead of the classic hourly billing model, which also includes everyday dialogue , there are good conditions for close collaboration. Therefore, we can live up to the role of the trusted co-pilot of the IT manager.

Why co-pilot?
-
Support for the most lonely position
The IT manager lacks the time in a hectic operational day to look ahead and rarely has someone without sales interest to get the most relevant proactive suggestions from and to bounce ideas & questions with.
-
Getting business benefits from digitalisation
In order not to be left behind in a fast-changing world with tough competition, a constantly updated activity plan is required to ensure that digitalisation adds business and operational benefits.
-
Competitive IT over time
Maintaining a cost-optimal IT solution requires frequent and independent business intelligence as IT vendors rarely provide proactivity that reduces their revenue.
-
Avoid technical debt
Without ongoing insight, control and modernisation, a technical debt builds up, which over time becomes costly but also inefficient for IT users
-
Effective IT collaboration
Customers and suppliers do not understand each other's conditions and activities well enough.
-
Ensure continuity & reduce personal dependency
With Co-Pilot as a contractual service, historical and future plans are protected when IT managers and key technical staff of the suppliers leave, reducing the risk of important knowledge loss.

"The collaboration with MissionPoint has given me a natural sounding board for all the challenges I have in my role as IT manager. It is easy to lose focus on the long-term activities in an active everyday life and it is from MissionPoint that most proactive suggestions come, which I know I can trust. Thanks to a well-executed outsourcing procurement and continuous business intelligence, we have managed to achieve and work in a structured way to maintain a cost-effective and future-proof IT and system environment."
