At 3roc, we believe that during the consulting process, the focus should remain on strategy, structure, and design rather than getting caught up in premature content discussions. By streamlining our approach, we ensure that review stages are dedicated to refining the overall solution, allowing us to deliver impactful, data-driven results without unnecessary delay.
Oxford Council required a strategic migration of several legacy systems to a modern cloud environment. Facing rising infrastructure costs and an aging on-premise setup, the council engaged 3ROC Ltd to lead the transformation.
