A HAMILTON-BASED consultancy has broken new ground with its latest partnership with managed services provider Aspen Solutions to deliver IT support for companies.
The link up with the Glasgow firm comes as part of Inspirent’s expansion into the private sector with a recently-launched suite of audits designed to help owner-led private enterprises.
Bosses are confident the new strategic collaboration will prove successful, with a focus on helping both start-ups and established businesses that want expert guidance to maximise the value of their IT systems.
Inspirent has a track record of helping businesses and Aspen has more than 25 years’ experience delivering IT, print, and communication solutions to firms across the UK.
Previous clients include Envevo, Preah and Cleartech, with Aspen assisting them to scale by creating solid, secure and resilient infrastructures.
Liz McCutcheon, Inspirent chief executive, said: “We’re proud to be partnering with such a well-established and trusted firm as Aspen IT Solutions.
“This collaboration brings together our shared commitment to helping business owners make confident, informed decisions that drive growth.
“Our audits, whether focused on financial clarity, marketing, or business planning, are designed to deliver practical, actionable insights, not just theory.
“By combining that approach with Aspen’s expertise in IT systems, we’re able to help clients align their technology with their wider business ambitions.
“It’s our first partnership of this kind, and we’re excited about exploring more collaborations like this that add real value for small and growing businesses.”
Aspen Solutions managing director Paul Harkins added: “We are thrilled to be working with Liz and her team at Inspirent, who have supported Aspen and myself personally over the past 12 years.
“Their input on our succession planning was pivotal and has really shaped the business we are now.
“Having the chance to work in partnership and augment the value that Inspirent can add to owner-managed firms is a great honour.
“Our audit will allow us to take a holistic view of a business and its operations, giving the owner greater clarity in order to automate by adopting new technology or maximising existing IT investment.”
