Since collaborating with Matrix on 7-Forces IT-specific projects, our experience has been excellent. The Matrix Milestone team is consistently supportive and guides us through each stage of the process. Matrix’s Procurement Consultant has been outstanding. They have made every project delivery smooth and straightforward, providing exceptional support throughout. One key stage of the project we ran was extremely complex due to data protection requirements. They quickly incorporated the necessary clauses into the Work Order and promptly implemented any required amendments. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and positive attitude makes them a pleasure to work with.

It was important that the collaborative group of Local Authorities had access to an MI report that provided meaningful, accurate data. Matrix worked with us over a period of time to achieve what we required, as a collaborative group, and the monthly MI reports have been successfully developed and circulated. The sequence of the report flows really well and explains the journey of all placements within each Local Authority from the start to the end of each placement.
The charges have been broken down into separate columns and clearly demonstrated the savings made on each individual placement. Matrix have proved to be a flexible and professional organisation in terms of requirements that are asked of them in relation to the development of the collaborative MI report and other elements of service delivery.
The move to Matrix as a Vendor Neutral Managed Service, enabled our back-office functions to use their technology to help with a range of objectives. We now have full view of the placements, regular reporting that can be automatically sent to your email, plus a wide range of reporting tools. It also gave the opportunity to streamline our invoicing processes, where we now receive only one invoice per week for all placements.
The initial implementation process was also handles very effectively, which enabled us to set up the roles, structure and cost centres with the aim that following go-live, things were in place for managers to start using the system from day one.
