Professional IT support for growing engineering firm

In 2016, a Private Equity party stepped into the already successful Petersburg, which by then had 25 consultants. In view of the energy transition, the newly appointed management team is tasked with achieving strong growth and upgrading the organisation.

St. Petersburg is a highly qualified engineering company in the field of high voltage and pipeline infrastructure. It offers engineering, consultancy and advisory services within the energy sector. It makes designs for high-voltage substations, high-voltage connections, carries out life cycle studies. In doing so, it uses the latest techniques. In order to remain at the forefront of the sector, it opts for strong growth.

Takeshape was asked in 2018 to bring the IT support to the desired level because the current informal model is not scalable. Petersburg Consultants now has 45 employees. In a short time, I mapped out the requirements, drew up a programme of requirements and carried out a supplier selection. At the same time, I carried out an AVG assessment. This freed up engineering capacity and increased the level of IT support.
