As a specialist insurance underwriter, Delta Insurance operates in a fast-paced, competitive market. Their rapid growth was a success story, but it also introduced significant technological complexity. Their systems, while functional, were becoming increasingly fragmented.
The executive team needed a high-level technology strategy to ensure their platform could support new products, manage increasing data flows, and maintain robust security and compliance. They required executive-level IT leadership to navigate this, but the need wasn't yet full-time.
We provided a 'RightFit' fractional IT Manager to deliver the required strategic oversight. Our approach was to work directly with the executive team to align their technology strategy with their core business objectives for growth, risk management, and market expansion.
We focused on creating a cohesive roadmap that addressed skills, scalability, data analytics, and security. This involved mapping their future business needs against their current technology capabilities to identify gaps and priorities, ensuring every technology decision was driven by a clear business case.
In the words of Delta's leadership: "The fractional model gave us the strategic firepower we were missing. We now have complete confidence in our technology roadmap and its ability to support our vision."
Euromarc, a leading nationwide supplier of industrial consumables, was on a strong growth trajectory. However, their technology and internal processes weren't keeping pace. The leadership team recognised that their existing IT was becoming a handbrake on their ability to scale efficiently.
They knew they needed senior-level technology guidance to build a platform for the future, but they weren't yet in a position to hire a full-time, executive-level IT manager. They needed a flexible solution that provided strategic direction without the commitment of a permanent role.
To solve this, we provided a 'RightFit' fractional IT Manager who became an integrated part of Euromarc's leadership team. Our first step was to understand their core business objectives and the specific operational challenges they faced.
We focused on building a strategic technology roadmap that aligned directly with their growth plans. This involved reviewing everything from their core ERP and inventory systems to their sales and customer service processes. The goal was to create a clear, actionable plan that would support their expansion and improve efficiency across the business.
As Euromarc's leadership put it: "Having that strategic oversight gave us the clarity we needed. We finally have a plan that connects our technology directly to our business goals."
Unlike outsourced IT providers who often operate without deep business knowledge, Target State acted as our strategic partner to ensure technology was purposefully aligned with our business goals, driving real value and growth.
- Nathan Barrett, COO Delta Insurance.
"One of Ant's strengths is relating to owners in a visionary sense and talking to people who are on the ground...[Ant has a] wide understanding of different systems, processes and applications and can articulate where we're going and what the possibilities are...working with Ant has changed the way we make decisions about IT structures and support systems."
We hired Ant to support us with an important project after he was highly recommended by colleagues. Ant was responsive, speedy, super-helpful and helped us to make key decisions. We appreciated his broad experience, and his ability to hold a high level strategic view alongside expert advice on details. We will definitely be consulting with Ant again and are happy to recommend him.
"We don’t need a full-time CTO [chief technology officer]. Ant knows enough about our business he can deliver it virtually. He can translate things for us. During project management, Ant came into his own... Ant gets his head round your business and [took his time] understanding our context. He was really clear about pausing on investment into the app...Ant's inquisitive, curious and approachable - he's very easy to work with."
"Ant was really quick to understand the business model and our processes and IT structures."
"Ant helped us at the early stages of Aerotruth helping us to plan our technical infrastructure and ensure we built a product that would scale. Ant was great to work with and we really valued his support and contribution to Aerotruth"
"No question has ever been too silly. Ant's been accommodating and helped me understand. I've valued that he understands the charitable sector really well. He can look through the experience that he has with larger organisations and what's the reality for a small and mighty charity where you don't have teams of people that can come in and project manage an IT project"
"Having Anthony was really valuable – to lean in on his skillset – and his connections. He was able to provide impartial advice about the different strengths [of the providers]. It was important that we undertook a good due diligence process. Having Anthony there meant we had impartial selection as well, which is very important to us and [something] other not-for-profits [could benefit from]."
Unlike outsourced IT providers who often operate without deep business knowledge, Target State acted as our strategic partner to ensure technology was purposefully aligned with our business goals, driving real value and growth.
Ant has a clear, no-nonsense approach to technology. He focuses on outcomes, not hype, and always keeps the business context front and centre. In a world full of AI buzzwords and distractions, he’s someone who brings clarity and direction.
Although we’ve only just started working with Ant, it’s already clear he brings a thoughtful and structured approach. He quickly grasped the context and asked the right questions to get us moving in the right direction. I’m looking forward to seeing where we can take things from here, especially to ensure we cut out waste and hold vendors to account.
