Problems we solve?
​In today’s fast-paced business environment, organisations and C-suite leaders can face challenges such as:
-
Legacy systems and inefficient processes that hinder agility and scalability.
-
Incomplete or fragmented data architectures leading to poor wider system integration (ERP) and preventing actionable insights or AI automation opportunities due to poor data and structures.
-
Difficulty in sourcing and managing niche contractors while maintaining IR35 compliance.
-
Difficulty with getting value from expensive large consultancies or SI’s who might send the A Team to win the business, but the D Team to deliver. At all phases, Lithium3 only engage you with the A Team.
-
Large consultancy engagements are drowned by heavy governance with a lack of focus on your delivery and being flexible to offer the right solution/value for your business.
-
You just need a consultancy partner who focus on “doing”, rather than “theorising”. You may also want a partner who can offer you proven experts in niche areas to sit one step closer to your organisation, looking after your long term interests and de-risking transformation and project delivery.
If any of these problems strike a chord – Lithium3 can help
Contractor Delivery
Complementing our expertise in Data, ERP, and Business Transformation, Lithium3 provides specialist contractors on a Time & Materials basis to quickly fill niche resource gaps. This is ideal when clients prefer to engage contractors directly, rather than through our consultancy service, where we own the delivery.
Key Benefits
Access to our Top-Tier network, Fast
IT, Business, and Digital Transformation projects demand skilled specialists—not just generalist IT contractors. Lithium3 connects you with top-tier proven contractors who we’ve met and engaged with over 20 years who can hit the ground running.
Deep Market Expertise for Precision Hiring
We understand the nuances of Data, ERP, and Business Transformation roles, spanning job functions, industry sectors, and technologies (both legacy and emerging). This ensures accurate role matching, reducing hiring risks.

We go deeper, providing specialist contractors who drive real impact; treating our contractors like gold with fantastic service levels, ensuring a happier more motivated engagement.
Minimized Hiring Risks, Maximized Success
A Partner, Not Just a Supplier
Lithium3 offers a personalised​, consultative approach - understanding your challenges, advising on market conditions, and ensuring contractors align with your project's success.

Whether it's an ERP rollout, data migration, or large-scale business transformation, we secure specialist contractors to keep your projects moving forward - on time and within budget.
Case Studies
Consultancy Solutions
R&D
GSK
​
The Challenge
GSK R&D wanted to create Predictive Analytics models in the manufacturing process to spot errors in advance and create efficiency on the production line.
Solutions delivered
- Prediction Model and Root Cause Analysis Projects built upon Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning techniques to identify the key indicators of anomalies within the manufacturing process.
-Implemented a cloud-native (Kubernetes) AI platform.
​
Client feedback/Outcome
“Lithium3 created a successful team of Data Engineers and Data Scientists when large consultancies twice failed to deliver the right quality people on our global Industry 4.0 programme. The analytics models delivered by Lithium3, enabled us to spot defects within our manufacturing production line well in advance, thus saving us time and money. The value is ongoing as these models are used globally in most of our manufacturing plants.
Global Head of Innovation (R&D Tech)
​Client – Evotec SE – Life Sciences
​
The Challenge
Evotec were referred to Lithium3 by an existing consultant as they were struggling to find the right quality skills and delivery from existing large 3rd party generalist service integrators.
Solutions delivered
-Global SAP S/4HANA migration. Lithium3 provided the bridging SME consultants on SAP FICO, SAP SCM, SAP MM and Change Management to offer expertise for Evotec and drive delivery of the wider SI. Lithium3 also provided the entire Data Migration Team for this programme.
​
-Data/Analytics transformation - Lithium3’s consulted with Evotec to build out a BI and analytics strategy aligned to their Target Operating Model. Our consultant built out an end-to-end solution for analytics and data delivery and a cost-effective deployment plan across the group.
​
Client feedback/Outcome
“Lithium3 have changed the way we buy specialist resources for projects. We still use our 3rd parties and Service Integrators on certain projects/programmes for commodity level resources or very short term, but having Lithium3 consultants be the bridging SME expert between Evotec and a 3rd party or being solely responsible for delivery themselves, means we get a tangible outcome in a far higher quality, lower risk and cost-effective way”.
Head of Global Business IT
Contractor Delivery
Client - Procurement/Logistics/Supply Chain Service provider
The Challenge:
With complex IT Transformation programmes and a IT department re-organisation to deliver, our client needed a specialist IT/Business Transformation recruitment partner who had relationships and access to a wide range of top-tier local IT Contractors and Senior Permanent IT Leaders to fulfil a number of new positions.
Solutions/roles filled:
PMO Analysts/Leads, PMO Planners, Project Managers (IT, Data and Business Change), Programme Managers (Business Change, TOM, IT), Programme Director (IT), Change Managers, Business Analysts.
Architects (Enterprise, Solution, Application, Technical), Head of Data, Head of Digital/Front office, Head of Infrastructure/Applications, Head of Cyber Security, Cyber Security Analysts.
​​
Client feedback/Outcome
"Lithium3 understand complex IT/Business Transformation environments and the resourcing challenges these bring. Lithium3 offer the versatility we needed to deliver key people for a variety of roles and projects/programmes. They really took time to understand our business and culture and very quickly got to grips with the type of resource we would need to deliver our new IT Leadership team (Perm). Lithium3's contractors helped us deliver our multi-year programmes successfully (Oracle fusion ERP, WMS, Digital PAAS, Data and Business Change). For their contractor delivery, the value was both in the quality of the contractor looking after our interests and the fact we didn’t have to rely as heavily on 3rd party MSP’s for specialist resources (who were far more expensive)".
