Unlock Growth, Reduce Costs & Manage IT Risks

At Bentlebury, we work with businesses facing growth challenges, cost pressures, and regulatory complexities. Whether you’re scaling operations, optimising IT spend, or ensuring compliance, we provide strategic expertise that delivers measurable results.

Digital Transformation: Modernising Without Disruption

Adopting new technologies or implementing an ERP system is a major business decision. If handled poorly, it can lead to cost overruns, productivity losses, and operational disruption.

Bentlebury ensures a structured, strategic approach, focusing on:

  • Minimising downtime and maintaining business continuity.
  • Choosing the right technology to align with your growth plans.
  • Ensuring staff adoption through effective change management.
  • Integrating new solutions with existing systems seamlessly.

Virtual CIO: IT Leadership Without the Full-Time Cost

A well-executed IT strategy can be the difference between business growth and stagnation. Yet, not every organisation needs (or can afford) a full-time CIO. Bentlebury provides board-level strategic IT leadership that:

  • Aligns IT investments with business objectives.
  • Optimises infrastructure to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
  • Manages risk by ensuring robust cybersecurity and resilience.
  • Drives digital initiatives that enhance productivity and customer experience.

Regulatory Compliance: Meeting FCA & DORA Reqs

Financial and operational regulations are constantly evolving, and non-compliance can lead to penalties, reputational damage, and operational setbacks. Bentlebury helps businesses:

  • Assess IT systems for regulatory risks and gaps.
  • Implement controls to meet FCA and DORA requirements.
  • Strengthen IT governance to support long-term compliance.
  • Maintain operational efficiency while meeting legal obligations.

IT Due Diligence: Identifying Risks & Cost-Saving Opportunities

Whether you're acquiring a company, investing in a business, or reviewing your IT strategy, due diligence is critical to making informed decisions. Bentlebury provides in-depth IT assessments to:

  • Uncover hidden risks in IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, and operations.
  • Identify cost-saving opportunities to optimise spending.
  • Assess scalability of IT systems to support future growth.
  • Ensure technology aligns with business objectives.
