Strategy matters. Execution decides whether the model works.
Consulting-led models can help define target states, business cases and transformation plans. Egiss helps global enterprises operate the technology lifecycle across sourcing, deployment, management, retirement, reporting and accountability.
One global standard with local execution, supported by services, governance and the Blue Stripe Guarantee.
Use consultants to design the model. Use an operating partner to run it.
Consulting-led support can be valuable when the organisation needs strategy, analysis, transformation planning, RFP support or stakeholder alignment.
Egiss is more relevant when the challenge is operational: sourcing technology, configuring devices, coordinating delivery, managing lifecycle visibility, running ITAD, reporting outcomes and being accountable across countries.
When consulting-led models work
Consulting support can be useful before execution.
- The organisation needs strategy or target operating model design.
- Leadership needs a business case or transformation roadmap.
- Internal stakeholders need alignment before supplier selection.
- An RFP needs independent structure or facilitation.
- The buyer has internal teams or partners ready to execute the model.
Where consulting-led models break down
The gap appears when the slide deck meets country-level execution.
- Strategy is not tied to actual sourcing and delivery capability.
- Local execution complexity is underestimated.
- Provisioning, logistics and ITAD are left to separate vendors.
- Supplier accountability remains fragmented.
- Lifecycle reporting depends on internal teams to build.
- Sustainability and circularity claims lack operational evidence.
- The consulting partner is not accountable for price, quality or delivery after design.

Frequently asked questions
Do you need a strategy deck, an operating partner or both?
Egiss can help assess where your lifecycle model is already clear and where execution, governance, reporting or supplier accountability still needs to be built.
