Services We Offer
Technology Strategy
With technology evolving at ever increasing rates the choices you make and technologies you bet on have a greater than ever impact on the success of your business. Selection processes for partners and vendors as well as decisions on build vs buy are critical to achieving your goals. Architectural design, programming language choices and framework decisions are fundamental.
Consistent success in these areas is key to achieving your goals and too many companies treat them to tactical choices at the bottom of the organisation rather than strategic questions at the top.
R&D Optimization
Speed of development is the key dimension of success for modern product companies. The ability to get to market fast with new innovations and rapidly adapt to evolving customer demands in the face of aggressive competition is the name of the game.
As your business grows hero engineers and hard work won’t be enough. Efficient R&D approaches based on fast cycle times, lean processes and automated test will allow you to outpace the competition, satisfy customers and deliver more innovation from your workforce.
Many business struggle to make the transition from the early stage, customer led development to the industrialised approaches required at larger scale. We can help you scale your business whilst remaining effective and responsive.
Portfolio Management
Are your product portfolio and R&D investments aligned to your ultimate goals? Are you balancing your present and future investments appropriately? Can you constantly decide between the burdens of customer support and the new product features. These decisions determine how effectively your portfolio performs in the short and long terms.
In competitive markets working smart is even more important than working hard. Having industrialised processes that allow you to identify and evaluate opportunities is key to long term success. Market segmentation, product competitive analysis and product lifecycle management are at the heart of professional portfolio management.
We can help you optimise your product portfolio and R&D investments and identify where your key opportunities and risks lie in order to most effectively achieve your strategic objectives.
Areas of Specialist Knowledge
Cloud
Networked software is now pervasive and central to many, if not most, business types. With a need, however, to maintain control of operating and support costs, moving operations from dedicated infrastructure to the cloud brings clear benefits.
With deep experience in multi-vendor, public cloud deployment of complex solutions, as well as migration of software products from dedicated servers to cloud native, we can provide invaluable input and insights to your cloud strategy. From AWS deployment options to micro-service architectures, containerisation and serverless – whatever your technology strategy we can help you succeed.

From studio systems, content and playout to compression and encoding systems and direct-to-home delivery. Satellite, Cable, IPTV and OTT/Web solutions. From more traditional installations to all IP and the latest approaches to deployment in the public cloud.
Our deep technical knowledge across a diverse range of TV & Media operations means that whatever your area of interest is, we can provide expert assistance and guidance.
