Lessons Learnt and Advice
Harry Crean of SPD gives the following advice:
- ensure
you know what you want to do and where you want to be
- plan
accurately how you are going to get there
-
evaluate any supplier very thoroughly - call up or visit
those references
- check
out at least 10 suppliers - the difference in quotes can
be incredible
- don't
buy anything unless you really need it
- don't
be persuaded by consultants, know your own business requirements
Future
Plans
The company is now in a much stronger position to compete in
a global market. SPD now plan to go for much larger bids with
bigger companies. Their investment in eBusiness has put them
in the position of being able to go for tenders they previously
would have been incapable of fulfilling.
SPD
is hiring a dedicated marketing professional to ensure they
maintain their leading edge in Ireland and to seek opportunities
in foreign markets.
