Straight talking software implementation

We are a technology specialist who works with medium and large businesses in the insurance, financial and technology sectors.

Our point of difference is that we partner year-round with businesses to deliver their specific software and technology objectives through highly skilled consultants and analysts with the highest matched degrees of qualification.

From software implementation, BAU, consultancy and project management, our unique working culture and working model makes us the natural choice for progressive transformative organisations, SIs and technology companies.

Here’s how it works

Full lifecycle collaboration

We offer a full lifecycle approach to projects, from inception through implementation and data migration to run services (BAU). Our adaptable and responsive team of industry certified professionals work flexibly as an extension of our clients’ teams.

Using their expertise, our technical consultants, business analysts and testers seamlessly integrate and partner with insurers’ internal teams and SIs. Our ethos of collaboration and our investment in our people align us both culturally and operationally with our clients.

A transparent relationship committed to success

Focussing first on specific areas of need, we get to know our customers and understand how we best work together to deliver effectively into the future. Our relationships develop into lasting partnerships as trust grows in our delivery capability – influencing each other to get the best out of working together.

Our honest and open approach with customers ensures that projects are delivered with no surprises, which is a significant contributor to building trust and a lasting relationship.

Innovation/R&D

Our R&D function develops solutions based on the common needs of our clients to address specific business needs so that time, money and resources can be saved in addressing these areas.

Example project

Our Development teams have been working to solve complexities related to GDPR requirements, creating a solution that can be implemented into Guidewire InsuranceSuite and associated databases.

Non compliance with GDPR can result in significant fines, our solution saves insurers time and money allowing individual requests (e.g. Subject Access Requests) to be dealt with comprehensively and within the regulated timescales.
