Execution managed services

We help you run and optimise your complex functions - to continuously improve and deliver sustained outcomes.

Helping you accelerate your organisation

When facing a strategic or operational challenge, you need flexibility around a solution. In some cases, you might want a strategic business partner to ‘take the problem away,’ running and optimising your complex functions for you. At other times, you might want to ‘own it,’ bringing in new skills and experience to work under your direction. In either case, we have the solution.

We can help you ‘accelerate your outcomes,’ partnering with you to provide an end-to-end managed service that delivers sustained outcomes. Or we can ‘accelerate your capabilities,’ building you a team of PwC delivery specialists who work directly for you, building strength for either the short or long-term.

Either way, we’ll provide so much more than outsourcing and contractors - we'll help you achieve your ambitions faster.

How our managed services help you accelerate

PwC’s managed services help you achieve your ambitions faster by delivering so much more than outsourcing. We bring the capabilities, skills and passion of our people to run your business functions end-to-end, working in partnership with you and your teams.

Our unique combination of in-depth industry experience, technology capabilities and alliances can help you achieve your transformation ambitions, stay ahead of disruption and move your business forward, faster.

Accelerate your outcomes

We run. You accelerate

Managed services can help you optimise and transform your complex functions - and accelerate your outcomes. We combine the best sector and domain expertise with data-led insight and digital assets to provide end-to-end managed services, from strategy to delivery.

You’ll get a PwC team that gets to know your business, working seamlessly with your systems to integrate the right technology. And, while we may be managing things for you, we’ll work alongside your people, sharing knowledge to develop your in-house capabilities for the long term. We’ll make sure your organisation continually evolves, embracing change together, and delivering outcomes that last. We’re one team, delivering together.

Accelerate your capability

We create the team. You run it. They help you accelerate

Looking to build your long-term capability, but also want to maintain control and own the outputs? When you need skills and capacity to change or just get things done, we’ll build you an experienced and motivated delivery team to work under your control.

You’ll get a team that works directly for you, delivering your plan, to help you accelerate your capability. You’ll instantly become more productive, solve pressing business priorities faster, avoid recruitment costs, and build your capacity for lasting results. All with the reassurance of PwC standards of knowledge and experience and at a cost that’s in line with employing people internally. You’ll deliver successfully, get back the time you need to focus, and build your capability for the long-term.

How we work together

Co-creating your solutions

We bring together our industry and domain specialists and solution architects with your teams to design and build solutions with you. We curate the right technology solutions by optimising your existing assets and introducing new leading edge and established technologies from our ecosystem of alliances.

Flexible and agile delivery

We build the right team of specialists for every, individual solution - run from our offices, or from yours. We continually invest in training and development with 10,000+ hours a month of domain, expert-led training programmes.

Right technology, real results

In addition to our strong technology alliances, we have built our own Advanced Research Centre, collaborating with universities to uncover next-generation technology and products, to curate the right technology for you.

Delivering at speed

We can deploy our teams at speed when you need them most, or transform and continue to run a service long-term.

Sharing risk - and success

Our commercial arrangements reward the value and outcomes we deliver. And our flexible and agile contracts mean you are always in control and able to up-and down-scale capacity as you need it.

Your lasting legacy

We challenge thinking, introduce new ways of working and develop your own teams to make them stronger for the long-term and deliver sustained outcomes.

Outcomes, accelerated: case studies

From financial services to local government, we’ve helped some of the UK’s most complex organisations. Whether it’s helping to mobilise a fund management service from scratch or supporting end-to-end insurance claims, we provide the talent and the technology our clients trust to accelerate growth.

Banking on the UK’s future

When the government came to us to help them set up the Future Fund, they thought it would take months. We were able to get it up and running in a matter of weeks.

Making bold claims in insurance

We built a new platform for Chester Street and moved 65 staff onto it in just eight weeks. The result is a digitised, integrated claims handling process that’s 30% more efficient.

Boosting the health of a patient call centre
