"Pam worked with me on an IT cost review and outsourcing feasibility study in 2009. Without Pam's assistance, I would not have been able to get to the real cost of IT to the business, or to identify and prioritise specific areas of greatest cost saving potential. Pam was instrumental in mapping out strategic options on the basis of these findings, and was a compelling advocate in presenting them to the board. Pam was a pleasure to work with, delivered great value to the business, and I would strongly recommend her work."
