We have all worked at a senior level helping businesses to build their infrastructure. With our passion for all things technical we have engaged in making our business something we enjoy and at the same time are able to be honest and direct with customers. We always advise on what is out there, while understanding what they use today.
We are fascinated with all areas of technology and we bring that into our consulting capacity. This enables us to be able to grasp the entire spectrum of the technology arena and help you to better understand how that technology could be used within your business environment. It also gives us the capacity to predict the current trends and future direction the industry is taking, whether that be in the type of programming languages which are evolving or the mobile technology direction in which you should be aware if moving into that area.
We have long been fascinated with the ability of technology to re-invent itself every few years and we pride ourselves on being at the forefront, but at the same time understanding what works now and most importantly, works well.
Helping start-ups to make the right technology choices today which will carry them through to tomorrow and beyond. It is true to say that we tend to get the call once our client has already had some consulting and ends up coming to us with a website that doesn’t quite do what they need or infrastructure which is not fully fit for purpose. It doesn’t need to be this way, start-ups need technology help from before day one, and we endeavour to help so they may avoid such pitfalls and start their technology life as promising and successful as the business life.
We know start-ups don’t have much time to get this area up to speed as they are busy with fund-raising and strategy for the business - and rightly so! Let us solve the technology headaches before they begin.
This might seem an obvious thing to mention, but Consulting often gets confused as a Strategic discussion. We have found that in our experience, technical strategy is just as important and the differences are subtle but significant. A good 6 monthly strategic meeting can work wonders and save you having to fight fires.
That sudden realisation that no one imagined you would be getting 50,000 hits a week on your website soon after it went live; the problems of an infrastructure which doesn't scale when you hire an additional 50 staff for a special project. It's these kind of things for which we can help you to build in fail safe procedures to ensure that should you ever need it, capacity and redundancy will be there.
We've all been there - something comes up and you need an answer quickly. Building a solution is never something you would choose to do in a hurry, but sometimes needs must. That is where we can help, having developed a myriad of technical solutions, we know what works and what doesn't. This gives you the edge, because we can call on our experience to give you a quick response to your request. At the same time, you know when we say 'we've done that before', that you can rest easy knowing we will be able to deliver.
We take over the process, from procurement, to project planning, to implementation and support during the roll out. We can retain support duties after completion if that is what you wish.
