19. Deloitte & Touche LLP

• Head of IT: Mary Hensher UK director of Technology
• Industry: Financial services
• Website: www.deloitte.com

For financial services firm Deloitte it has been a year in IT of continuation. The partnership said: “In terms of changes to business IT strategy it was mainly a continuation of the projects identified in 2007 - for example the completion of VoIP, completing the roll out of document management, and working on the green agenda.”

A spokesperson added: “Our new London campus is nearing full occupation. It is designed to house 6,000 people. And the data centres have been successfully outsourced to purpose built third party locations with minimal business disruption”

In 2007 - 08 the firm recruited 1,400 graduates and 1,700 experienced employees. The UK and Swiss practices now operate as a single entity.

As part of its green agenda the partnership is looking at video presence technology, and double sided printing is being introduced as standard on all new printers.

To the year 31 May 2007 Deloitte held £66 million worth of computer equipment having added £21 million to its June 2006 total of £57 million and having disposed of £12 million worth of computer equipment.

From an investment perspective Deloitte lists its depreciation period for computer equipment at between three and five years. Taking into account depreciation at May 31 2007 Deloitte said it held a net book amount of computer equipment of £30 million. At the same date IT software within the partnership was valued at £13 million, down £2 million on the previous year.
