Digital consulting

Digital services and accelerating connectivity have been reshaping the way we build the physical environment for some time. Planning for future technologies and the behaviours they drive, requires a multifaceted and thoughtful approach. We provide comprehensive strategic advice on the role of digital technology in the built environment, incorporating both organisational transformation and placemaking.

We help you gain value from the data your business generates, introducing powerful analytics and a brilliant user experience, supported by an integration of the best hardware and software. We help clients to develop completely new services, integrating new technology and data standards in complex environments for energy and transport clients.

Experience design

For at least a decade now, data-driven modelling and simulation tools have enabled greater understanding of public behaviour and preferences, helping designers of all kinds to work with a deeper understanding.

Today, we use these tools backed by wider disciplinary knowledge to carry out ‘experience design’, plotting out how a given environment will meet users’ needs and preferences. For clients it’s a chance to establish confidence in design choices well before any construction begins, vital in major infrastructure or public-funded projects.

Generating valuable insights from data

For many of our clients, the core issue isn’t a lack of data within their business, but how to translate it into useful intelligence. Our data scientists and advisors are expert at translating business data into decision-critical information, building organisations’ data analytics capacity as we go.

IT systems: optimised, safe and secure

Advising on and implementing the information and communications technology your business or organisation depends on, is a core part of our service. From network infrastructure to helping ensure your data security, we can design the programme your organisation needs.

IT, networking and 5G

We produce IT infrastructure and integrated technology designs that support buildings and businesses on day one and long into the future. Fast networking is another business critical priority and we’re helping clients invest in and implement flexible, high performance systems that can grow with their businesses.

Cybersecurity and data management

Cybersecurity grows in importance daily, and corporate fortunes and reputations depend on finding a way to protect vital IP, while enabling people to work as frictionlessly as possible. We advise clients on all aspects of cybersecurity and resilience, adopting an approach that combines rigorous technological stress-testing with an understanding of the human and cultural factors.
