Research

We research latest trends on collaborating in technology. We can share these insights with your team through whitepapers, blog posts, newsletters or directly as a "Lunch and Learn" session hosted virtually.

We "Sharpen the Saw"

We live in a digital world, have increasing data risk and specific industrial use cases that require specialist integration knowledge and business change. How do we keep pace with this evolving technology and market landscape? We invest our time to ensure that partnering engagement practices remain relevant and strategic.

A broad and deep network

We host up to a meeting a day with colleagues in different industries, countries and domains to inform trends and a company's position in that space.

Resource Cover

We can help you  update long-term business plans and technology roadmaps for a business unit; or we can  troubleshoot a stakeholder relationship through targeted consulting-based interventions that provide continuity or extra capacity.

A flexible service

We can either work at the operational level to diagnose and improve performance or at the strategic level to support planning and feasibility. Engagements can last from 6 weeks.

More than a recruiter

 We can help specify job roles, identify candidates, based on an organisation assessment and on our competency model.

We have a broad and deep network of literally 1000's of IT Business Partners in Europe.
