McLaren and IT Lab renew partnership to become a Technology Provider to McLaren Technology Group

McLaren is pleased to announce that IT Lab has increased the scope of its existing partnership, becoming an official partner of the McLaren Technology Group.

IT Lab became an official technology services provider to the McLaren Technology Centre in 2016. Its new, broader role has enabled it to create a fully integrated and shared service model that perfectly fits McLaren’s requirements.

With a consultative approach, IT Lab and McLaren have developed a scalable, adaptive relationship beyond that of a regular supplier and customer. IT Lab has created a responsive, integrated and shared service model around Service Desk support that optimises business performance.

The results are overwhelming: IT Lab currently runs with a resolve-rate of 99 per cent on all tickets managed, and is able to answer 93 per cent of all incoming service request calls within 10 seconds.

Matt Lockie, IT Director for McLaren Technology Group, said:

“We’re delighted to be able to expand and extend our existing relationship with IT Lab. We very quickly established an outstanding working relationship, with IT Lab, and we’ve worked together to strengthen and improve that initial performance.

"For a fast-moving company such as McLaren, the entire business is underpinned by the speed, capacity and adaptability of our IT resource: knowing that we can rely on IT Lab to be the first line in supporting McLaren is enormously reassuring.

“Increasing the scope of IT Lab’s relationship with McLaren will further strengthen the common ground between our companies, and will significantly improve our IT provision.”

Peter Sweetbaum, Chief Executive Officer for IT Lab, said:

“We’ve already enjoyed a fantastically productive relationship with McLaren, so to be able to develop and grow the partnership means we can develop deeper routes with the organisation, and provide an even better service.

“At IT Lab, we know just how important that client relationship is; it really means everything, and it’s important to make it feel as seamless and as natural as possible.

“Deepening our relationship with McLaren also strengthens IT Lab’s objectives to drive excellence in service and drive a consultative, adaptive and scalable approach with our customers”.
