Software meets data and insight on the cloud.

Software

Software

Solve problems, deliver fresh experiences, delight your users.

A collaborative, end-to-end journey from your big idea to steady-state operations.

Software product development is a science and an art. We work with you explore the solution space efficiently, bringing in fresh perspectives and experience across value, risk, data, UX, process and delivery that complement your in-house expertise.

We help you put applications and software systems to work as you build competitive edge and market share. Working closely with your teams, we modernise, design, build and help you embed software in your business that enables change and creates momentum.

Collaboration to us means actively sharing responsibility for quality and success, defining and taking accountability for new or enhanced capabilities that are meaningful to you at a business level.

Data

Data

Prepare your most valuable assets for interrogation & analysis.

Data

Access to the right data at the right time in the right format.

We see data as the fundamental enabler of value creation for our customers. Our data engineering services are designed specifically to prepare your data to deliver intelligence and insight, helping you answer critical business questions and make better decisions.

Data volumes are growing exponentially across customer touchpoints, business functions and systems. Complexity and granularity of data is increasing. We work with you to design cloud data platforms on Azure that draw on native services to make your big data more manageable and easier to secure and govern.

Taking you from proof of concept to production, we design efficient, reliable pipelines that move, transform and store data into analysis-ready structures.

Insight

Insight

Understand what happened, why it happened & what happens next if…

Insight

The power to understand & prioritise the activities that add value to your business.

We help you use data to improve decision-making to drive growth, lower costs and optimise performance.

Our business intelligence and award-winning data science teams apply visualisation and advanced analytic techniques to help you create actionable insight. This helps you answer critical strategic and tactical questions with confidence, like ‘what’s my next best customer action?’, ‘which people are most valuable to my organisation?’, ‘which areas of my business create the most negative environmental impact?’, ‘which flavour of coffee will sell best?’.

We help you prepare for a data-driven future, unlocking potential and maturing your internal capability. And helping you build the ability to get beyond the hype and harness techniques like AI and Machine Learning is a journey that all starts here.

Cloud

Cloud

Leverage the power of the Microsoft Azure ecosystem.

Cloud

The flex, depth & scale to deliver your business revolution.

Cloud platforms and services are a core part of your technology proposition, helping you standardise and modernise service delivery, scale effortlessly, get good at change and manage your information assets effectively and securely.

We are firm believers in buy over build. High quality off-the-shelf PaaS components accelerate your time to value and free you to focus on the elements of your solution that deliver competitive edge and differentiation.

We work natively with Azure, but our teams will ensure your solutions are matched with the cloud platform that is right for your requirements.
