This is the right tool for us, and Wellingtone is the right partner. They understand that implementing a change like this is about more than just configuring the technology. And they have the right expertise to support that journey from both a technology and a PMO perspective.

There is no doubt that Wellingtone’s expertise played a pivotal role in getting us to this point so rapidly.

Wellingtone have the right combination of technical expertise and PPM knowledge. They strike a balance between being professional and flexible. Most importantly, they have equipped us to make significant strides in our PMO maturity.

The Accelerator+ was well suited since it leverages existing Microsoft licensing. Wellingtone came across as great people whose primary objective was to support our journey.

We’re super excited about Wellingtone’s expansion into the States and look forward to them bringing their expertise, unique insights, and thought leadership to the American market.

Wellingtone have such a breadth of PMO experience. They have so many different areas of expertise to offer. The potential benefits of engaging with them are huge.

They have a comprehensive knowledge of how the technology works. Plus, they have that hotline into Microsoft.

We also knew of Wellingtone’s reputation in the PMO sector. Wellingtone submitted the most competitive tender and they were a good choice for us.

We chose Wellingtone because we recognized their capacity to act as an advisory partner–not just a vendor. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
