Teceze delivered a 14-engineer on-site team at 100% resource availability across EMEA and APAC while simultaneously executing an 87-site AV infrastructure survey programme at 100% SLA, demonstrating capacity for concurrent strategic initiatives.
Global consumer healthcare company producing over-the-counter medicines, oral health, and wellness products, operating manufacturing sites, research facilities, and commercial offices across Europe and Asia-Pacific. The organization requires dual-region embedded IT support plus concurrent project delivery capability.
The client required embedding a 14-engineer team across EMEA and APAC with zero-tolerance coverage all 14 seats must be filled daily while simultaneously executing an 87-site audiovisual infrastructure survey programme.
Critical challenges included: maintaining perfect attendance across 14 engineers across two regions with limited overlapping working hours, establishing credible operating and reporting discipline quickly, managing planned leave without creating coverage gaps, and executing the concurrent AV survey programme without drawing on core team capacity.
Teceze implemented a dual-model approach separating steady-state FTE delivery from project execution: full backfill model from day one delivering 100% availability inclusive of planned leave, consistent weekly reporting cadence establishing operating discipline quickly, independent project resourcing for the AV survey programme preventing core team impact, and quality-led account growth enabling expansion based on delivery excellence.
This dual-delivery approach ensured that complex concurrent operations remained coordinated and effective despite enormous demands. Teceze understood that maintaining perfect FTE availability while executing large-scale projects creates competing pressures: backfill capacity is consumed by the FTE team, project deadlines pressure allocation, coverage gaps emerge during transitions. By establishing full backfill model from day one, implementing consistent weekly reporting, separating project resourcing, and building growth on proven excellence, Teceze created parallel delivery structures proving both could succeed. The quality-led account growth to Thailand reflected client confidence based on demonstrated excellence.
From challenge to transformation, the solution included:
Backfill coverage built into resourcing model delivering 100% availability inclusive of planned leave, managing zero-tolerance coverage requirement without coverage gaps.
Consistent cadence established quickly giving client visibility into attendance, activity, and issues, building confidence in operating discipline.
AV site survey programme resourced independently preventing draw on core FTE team capacity, enabling concurrent strategic initiative execution.
Consistent delivery foundation enabling expansion to an additional site in Thailand based on demonstrated excellence rather than a sales-driven approach.
Governance structure focused on capacity management and concurrent delivery oversight:
| Cadence | Forum | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly | Operations Report | FTE availability metrics, project survey progress, any issues |
| Bi-weekly | Capacity Review | FTE resource status, project timeline, upcoming changes |
| Monthly | Dual-Track Review | FTE metrics, project completion status, concurrent delivery balance |
| Quarterly | Business Review | FTE performance, project outcomes, account expansion opportunities |
“The team’s commitment to attendance discipline and structured reporting was exceptional. It set a stabilising tone that made a difference to how we approached IT operations during a period of business change. Delivering perfect availability while executing the AV survey programme showed professional capability.”

Teceze delivered concurrent full-stack delivery: resource planning and scheduling for FTE team and project, day-to-day operational management across both tracks, weekly reporting on both initiatives, incident escalation and resolution, and quarterly business reviews.
Following successful concurrent AV survey delivery and Thailand expansion, focus shifts to leveraging AI-driven insights and advanced analytics to accelerate additional site growth and optimize resource utilization.
