If you're looking to develop a software solution but are unsure where to begin or how to complete it, Wanda Solutions is here to guide you. We have a proven track record of successfully assembling teams, implementing Agile methodologies, and delivering complete software solutions from start to finish. Our expertise has been utilized by industry giants like Microsoft, AstraZeneca, Cannes Lions, and SIS Betting. Let us do the same for you.

If your current software or systems are outdated, expensive, and slow, it's time to consider an upgrade, but choosing the right replacement can be daunting. I have extensive experience guiding organisations like the NHS and Jessie May in selecting and implementing suitable replacements for their legacy CRM, finance, and operational systems. For clients such as BCP Council, WLGA, Economist, and Red Cross, I have successfully ensured that their new systems deliver the promised benefits. Let me help you make a seamless transition to more efficient and cost-effective solutions.

Wanda Solutions has extensive experience working with organisations that manage substantial volumes of financial and customer data spanning over 20 years. Collaborating with both internal and external partners, I have aided organisations such as Jessie May, Drayson Technology, GES, British Red Cross, and Adstream in reviewing, cleaning, and organising their data. This process ensures compliance with data protection and data retention legislation, helping these entities streamline operations and enhance data security. Let us help you manage your data more effectively.

All new systems require thorough testing to ensure data integrity and software functionality. Employing a methodical approach is crucial for effective software testing. Wanda Solutions has spearheaded and managed the testing of software and systems from their inception. My experience spans notable entities such as Sky Television, the BBC, Microsoft, and BCP Council, where I have overseen the planning and execution of new software and systems testing before go-live. This critical phase is adeptly handled by Wanda Solutions using both internal and, when necessary, external resources to guarantee seamless system integration and operation.

Frequently overlooked or hastily added during the implementation of new software or systems, staff training is a crucial phase. It not only ensures the effective use of tools but also builds staff buy-in and trust. At Jessie May and BCP Council, I have spearheaded comprehensive training programs that cover not only the operational use of systems like Jira, Confluence, DevOps, and Microsoft 365, Microsoft Dynamics F&O, but also educated staff on supporting the software and organization for future upgrades. This strategy is vital for maximizing technology investments and enabling ongoing improvement. Wanda Solutions can develop training materials or assist internal teams in creating these essential tools and resources.
