8. Sustainable progress
from technology with insight
Information Technology is the engine of sustainable progress for
companies, organizations and society at large
We‟re living in a time of constant change and changes on a political, economical,
environmental and social level mean businesses must be agile and transparent.
In recent years, we have seen many changes. From cloud applications to hackers. From
budget cuts in the public sector to sustainability issues in manufacturing and safety concerns
in nuclear energy. We are at the edge of a new era of information technology.
And businesses are having to make investment decisions for their technology strategy in this
period of uncertainty. At the same time, the way IT supports businesses is changing, business
units are becoming increasingly involved in IT decisions, the way in which IT is delivered is
being redefined by cloud-based services and consumer IT is raising expectations as to the
usability of IT in the workplace.

12. Better future through
a unique approach
People, technology and business working together to accelerate progress
A new IT era is beginning: the era of business technology, the age of connectivity, ecosystems
and communities with ever greater transparency and accountability.
Progressive organisations are coming to the understanding that business doesn„t have to be
about profit at the expense of others or the environment. Companies are finding that
they need to reinvent their business model for the post-crisis world.
At the intersection of technology, people and business, we believe there are insights and
innovations that can lead to positive steps forward.
We want to contribute to a future where businesses demonstrate responsibility towards
society and the environment, and technology is used to improve people„s lives.

18. Writing history
together for all
We power tangible and sustainable business progress through technology
We want to be seen as visionaries for our clients.
To best use the skills we have, we need to envision opportunities made possible by technology
and describe them in engaging ways.
And once a client has decided on the future they want to create, we can bring experience and
talent to the project to help them write their history: to ensure that their aims are attainable
and ambitious, that the firm of the future they are plannning is well-placed to succeed and to
guarantee that all projects deliver what is needed of them - functionality, a sense of
accomplishment, a business that‟s fit for the future.

20. Unique approach designed
for clients
We are business technologists delivering on our commitments with a
passion for IT innovation
In a competitive environment like ours, we need to be clear about how we are different:
We put ourselves in our clients‟ and partners‟ position – we never approach from a point of view that
we are above them.
We work within an extensive partner ecosystem – but we don‟t try to do everything by ourselves.
We adapt to the business culture of our clients - we never impose a “one size fits all” approach.
We address clients‟ needs with flexibility whilst incorporating tried and tested tools – we don‟t
customize everything.
We select our best people / engineers according to our clients needs.
We provide outstanding value for our clients‟ money and the highest quality output - we don‟t
compete only on price.

24. Delivering strategy
with technology
As your business technologists, we bring technology that delivers on
business strategy and consultants that understand how
We think that a dynamic and changing business environment requires a unique type of professional - one that
doesn‟t presume to know the answers. A professional that really listens and comes up with innovative
answers to our clients‟ business challenges - working with them to create the firm of the future.
Business technologists aren‟t just techies or techies that lack business understanding. Or consultants that
aren‟t truly accountable for delivery. We consider the entire value chain.
And we don‟t believe in technology for technology‟s sake. Its only purpose is to deliver on business strategy.
Our outlook is global and we are constantly searching for the practical innovations and business trends that
make our clients more competitive and drive their business
transformation.
We understand that successful change needs a human touch. So we listen carefully to understand our clients‟
challenges. Then we deliver unique holistic solutions with confidence; orchestrating ecosystems, providing
teams of skilled consultants and industry experts to define and deliver
an end-to-end blueprint that meets your objectives.
