Shelter, the National Campaign for Homeless People has chosen Z/Yen to help it develop a long term IT strategy. Z/Yen has also been selected to assist with the evaluation, selection and implementation of new financial systems. Z/Yen has been selected through a competitive process which included nine firms. Shelter described the main reason for Z/Yen’s selection as the professionalism of the approach. The IT strategy should be completed this autumn while new financial systems are scheduled for implementation next spring. The team includes Ian Harris and Teresa Bestard.
