We help UK businesses rapidly digitally transform though a structured approach that puts the business’ objectives first. In a fast changing digital world SME’s need to improve efficiency, and staff productivity through intelligent automations and right-fit software/cloud products. Cost and carbon reductions are also high on priority lists.
Thorough a process of analysing your existing systems (SaaS, industry products or bespoke), identifying inefficiencies, and pinpointing areas that hinder your technological progress we can develop and execute a transformation journey to help you win.
Working with specialist and niche clients with unique challenges, we tailor our approach to meet often highly nuanced requirements. We can map out your current infrastructure, workflows, and software applications to gain a holistic view of your technology landscape. This enables us to uncover critical problems and opportunities for modernisation, and automation.
“Successful technology strategy relies on the ability to keep it simple, with a laser focus on business value and deliver fast, measurable impact.” – Hugh Buxton, CEO CCQ Tech
Full Stack AdvisoryToday’s modern technology stacks deliver a broad range of essential business services most often built on top of varying technologies. To most effectively enable digital transformation these services present a multitude of opportunities to integrate, data share and increase organizational efficiencies and productivity.
However, in our experience, many organisations fail to truly benefit from the potential of their stacks. Often, everyday use cases are deprioritised in favour of the next shiny thing, while the return on system investment across stacks can prove limited as a function of the user’s understanding of available outcomes.
We follow four core principles:
- We learn.
As much and as quickly as possible. We strive to understand both the high level business goals and what the day-to-day looks like for each of the processes involved. - We get buy-in.
Technology strategy is no longer the preserve of IT and rather must enable digital transformation across departments, needs and future-facing innovation. Anyone involved in technology processes from the business should own this. - We get fast feedback.
Our developers create tools such as process diagrams, mocks, and prototypes to quickly discover what works and what doesn’t. - We make recommendations.
We are not in the business of saying yes to projects if we don’t believe in them. Instead, we draw on our decades of experience to deliver expert guidance even if it means changing course to achieve the most business value.
While offering a tailored approach technology strategy and architecture projects typically include a Discovery Project:
- Analysing existing system documentation.
- Interviewing technical and non technical teams to document system landscape and dataflows.
- Observing key processes and workflows (on site if required).
- Architectural map of current systems and dataflows.
- Summary of gaps in system integration, data flow, and process efficiency.
- Technical recommendations based on findings.
Experience and skill in software and technology doesn’t always mean high levels of business acumen. Drawing on decades of experience in business focusing on building shared domain knowledge with clients we bring real business acumen to bear to help you solve those tough business problems leveraging the right modern technology to meet nuanced business objectives.
We believe that we need to earn our clients trust. To do so we invest to deeply understand each unique business we engage with and its market and context. Leveraging this understanding we only recommend the best-fit solution to any business problem or challenge and seek long term value added partnerships.
We’re mathematicians, physicists and computer scientists genuinely passionate about how tech can help make a difference to your business and its customers. We’re also expert technologists and have been around long enough to understand how to demystify and shape solutions proven to deliver results such that even the most complex solutions make sense and drive real business outcomes we can all be proud of. Delivered right, the first time.
