Intu Debenture
ITVET’s speed, resilience, efficiency, and technical innovations are demonstrated in this case study. We mobilised 1360 retail units with a short lead time of just 40 days, while maintaining outstanding levels of service.
MAPP Property Management
ITVET already manages the Intu Bromley site (The Glades) and was approached by MAPP in 2020 to audit and mobilise Intu Debenture sites – Eldon Square, Potteries & Braehead/Soar. As managing agents for Intu Debenture, MAPP required full IT support and services for 3.5 million square feet of retail space.
A challenging mobilisation project
To prevent downtime for customers, ITVET was given a short lead time of 40 days to prepare a full technical audit, provide recommendations on services, and mobilise their technical infrastructure. This needed to be completed with the highest level of consistency and quality within that designated timeframe. We were also targeted with delivering huge cost savings for each asset.
End-to-end management and ownership of third-party tech suppliers
The biggest challenge faced was ensuring we had all the necessary information from the third-party technical providers. This involved fact-finding during the project deployment. A flexible and responsive approach was taken when we needed to quickly make changes to the original plan to ensure the deadlines were met. With feet on the ground at MAPP’s sites, we were able to problem solve and innovate in real-time to deliver the site migrations on time.
ITVET’s hands on project management process
The outcome
MAPP and Intu Debenture teams had a significant undertaking to mobilise this huge portfolio within such tight timeframes. ITVET’s seamless approach to their technical mobilisation and tight project management ensured that their teams were able to hand all the technology migration over to us. This enabled MAPP’s team to focus on other more challenging areas of the Intu Debenture portfolio onboarding. ITVET takes full ownership of all technical aspects, we avoid passing the book or blaming third-party suppliers.
ITVET integrated all required services for Intu including communications, connectivity, cyber security, and all operations. We also delivered savings upwards of £200k+ per centre.
