Technology strategy and sourcing

The UK Ventilator Challenge made sure everyone in the UK who needed a ventilator got one during the coronavirus pandemic. To achieve this, we coordinated the public and private sectors to overcome one of the toughest challenges of recent times.

To create maximum long-term value, technology start-ups must build a robust technology development and commercialisation strategy around five critical success factors.

A large water utility evaluates their approach to managing physical network records.

A Russell Group University wanted to provide their students with a better exam process to help improve the student experience overall. Our higher education specialists carried out an independent analysis of the issues surrounding the way the university developed exam papers, published results and managed appeals.

Oxford Brookes University is on an ambitious journey to transform its student information management landscape. We worked with the University as a strategic delivery partner to support their team through the change, from procurement and design configuration to the deployment of a new commercial ‘off the shelf’ cloud-hosted solution.

Radio communications underpin many aspects of our defence and security infrastructure. But the basic principles that underpin the technology behind them haven’t changed in over a century. Now quantum technology is changing that. Capitalising on our expertise in quantum physics and applied engineering, we designed the blueprint for a radically new type of radio receiver, with the potential to transform the UK’s most critical communication capabilities.

We've helped Notpla manufacture a 100 per cent biodegradable water bottle that aims to stop 1 billion plastic bottles reaching the ocean each year.

With our help, the UK is set to enhance its strategic status in the global spaceflight market. The new regulatory model aims to protect the public, safeguard the environment and maintain the UK’s reputation for safety.

Taking an agile approach, we provided our consortium partners with business case development, requirements gathering, systems engineering and roadmap development, all with the goal of plotting the fastest way to achieve a minimum viable product for the quantum sensor.
