We have built our reputation by consistently creating successful channel strategies - bringing partners together and aligning technology solutions with relevant industry, business and operational drivers to deliver tangible return on investment.

Our success is based on the breadth and depth of our expertise, our commitment to delivering results and our consistent, professional approach to every engagement.

Experience

The Giant Step team has a combined IT industry experience of over 75 years –across high growth start-ups, ISVs and major blue chip vendors, including 40 years’ experience within Microsoft UK.  We have created and managed channels for distribution and OEM and have instigated and managed strategic alliances for ISVs, systems integrators and global management consultancies.

We are used to working within the culture and dynamics of both large and small organisations. We know how to get things done and we understand the customer and market landscape that underpin effective partnerships.

Through our team, we can give you access to breadth and depth of experience across a number of industry and technology solution areas. We have worked extensively in the Public, Financial Services, Retail and Manufacturing sectors, building channels, developing alliances and driving revenues.

Our projects range from building and implementing worldwide global partner programmes, to working on focused partner marketing activities that take joint partner propositions to market.

Ethos

Our clients like our results-driven approach and our pragmatic blend of both strategy and execution. We measure our success by the value we deliver – whether through strategic alliances, partnerships or business development activities. In the UK, clients such as Microsoft, Civica and SunGard Public Sector are happy to be referenced and are vocal about the success achieved by working with Giant Step.

Giant Step consultants have all held senior roles within the IT sector. While this experience enables them to work autonomously on projects, our cooperative and collaborative culture means that knowledge and expertise are shared across the team, enhancing the value of every customer engagement.

Giant Step is also committed to making a contribution in a broader sense - financially and in using our expertise for a good cause.  Our charity for 2010 is CLIC Sargent: a charity that cares for children and young people with cancer, and their families, in hospital and in the community.  In 2010 we will donate a percentage of our profits to CLIC Sargent and members of the Giant Step team will be directly involved in fundraising activities.

"Giant Step's passion and commitment alongside a results driven approach always makes a great combination in their continual aim of over achievement."
