Our Mission
We help organisations get measurable value from technology while building skills within their own teams. Our founder Tom also provides voluntary IT consultancy to charities, extending that support into the wider community.
AI Expertise.
Measurable Business Value.
We build AI agents with Microsoft Foundry and Copilot Studio, alongside Azure apps that connect AI to your business processes. We help you turn AI opportunities into practical solutions, with clear measures of the business value they deliver.
Our wider expertise spans Power Apps, Power Automate, Microsoft 365, data migration, Power BI and Microsoft Fabric. We build security and governance into delivery and train your team to use and own what we create.
Who We Are
Our Team
Based across the UK, our team combines strategic IT advisory and fractional CTO experience with hands-on delivery. We bring together business analysis, project management, software development, training and adoption to help you turn priorities into working solutions.
Our Values
Business Value Comes First
We start with what you want to improve and how we’ll recognise success, so the work stays connected to a meaningful outcome for your organisation.
More Of Your Budget Goes Into Delivery
We are a lean organisation. Our consultants are trained to cover the whole project cycle, from discovery and planning through development, release and handover. We keep meetings and administration proportionate and bring in additional project management and support resources only where they add value, so more of your budget goes towards delivery.
Clear Communication
We aim to assign you a dedicated technical consultant: one point of contact throughout your engagement, so you don’t have to repeat yourself. You should know where things stand without having to chase. We explain progress and decisions in plain language, including what we need from you and anything that could affect delivery.
Honest Advice
Our AI expertise helps us recognise where an agentic approach could add value and where a simpler solution would serve you better. We are application and automation specialists too. Sometimes it makes more sense to use AI as a tool to get the job done, rather than make AI the end product.
Safe And Secure Delivery
As AI experts, we understand the importance of secure delivery. Every AI project includes a summary of the information security implications, including what data the solution can access and, for agentic applications, what actions it can take.
Ownership Within Your Business
We work with your subject matter experts to identify the features and priorities that matter. In turn, we train them in effective business ownership: managing expectations, gathering requirements for future releases and taking ownership of their product. We also help them understand where AI needs human oversight, with support available when needed.
The IV Method
Measurable value, one step at a time.
We build applications in usable increments so your team can benefit early and shape what comes next. At the start, we establish a baseline and agree what success looks like.
We work in short cycles, reviewing progress with your team. We compare each increment with those starting measures and use feedback from the people using it to agree the next priorities.
Start Getting Value Sooner
We aim to put an agreed, achievable Version 1 in your team’s hands within two weeks, so you can start benefiting and measuring the return. As people use it, their feedback helps us focus on the improvements that matter most.
Keep Your Commitment Manageable
We build one usable piece at a time, with each version delivering value on its own. You can assess the results before investing further, without waiting months or even years for something your team can use.
Pivot As You Learn
As your team uses the product, their feedback reveals where the next increment can add the most value. We help you pivot towards those opportunities, adjusting priorities and scope within your agreed time and budget as you learn what works.
We test each release, including User Acceptance Testing against your agreed needs, before putting it into everyday use. Our goal is to produce a good product with a clear statement of the costs saved, revenue generated or risk reduced, including how we measured them.
We explain what can be attributed to the work and distinguish time released from cash savings.
