Our practices

Each practice is a complete capability with its own specialists and its own standards. They are held in one firm because institutional problems rarely respect the boundaries between them.

ICT & Digital

Systems that carry procurement, data and decisions.

Overview

Systems that carry procurement, data and decisions.

Our digital work exists because of the rest of the practice. Procurement platforms, pipeline dashboards, survey instruments and spatial analysis are the tooling that makes sourcing, supply chain and evidence work at scale.

We architect and integrate enterprise systems, implement ERP and procurement platforms, build the data collection instruments behind surveys and monitoring, and turn the resulting data into analysis a manager can act on.

01

Build for the process that exists

ERP and procurement platforms fail when they encode a workflow the organisation does not actually run.

02

Collect clean at source

Data collection instruments carry the validation logic, because data quality is cheapest to fix at the point of entry.

03

Secure and mapped

Cybersecurity assessment and spatial analysis are part of the same delivery rather than separate purchases made later.

Standards

The rules this work is held to.

Technical defensibility means working to frameworks a third party already recognises. These are the ones that govern this practice.

  • Enterprise architecture and integration patterns
  • ISO 27001 information security management
  • ODK and KoBo data collection standards
  • Open geospatial standards for mapping and analysis
  • Data governance, retention and access control

Bring us the constraint, not just the request.

A tender that keeps attracting the wrong bidders, a pipeline nobody can see into, a finding that has to be answered. That is where this practice is most useful.
