Ship working software, not slide decks

Big Four firms are strong at strategy decks but typically hand off delivery to separate implementation teams, often offshore, which is where most transformations lose momentum.

Systems integrators are strong at delivery but rarely engage at the strategic level where the biggest decisions get made. We deliberately operate in the middle: a single integrated team that does the executive advisory work and the hands-on delivery, with the same people accountable from boardroom to production. For European mid-market and upper-mid-market enterprises, that integrated model usually means faster decisions, lower coordination cost, and a clearer line of accountability than the alternatives.

Yes, and that's actually the most common scenario we work in.

Internal legal and compliance teams understand the regulation; what they often lack is the technical translation: how to architect AI governance into a Microsoft Fabric environment, how to operationalise NIS2 incident reporting inside an existing SOC, how to evidence DORA resilience without rebuilding everything from scratch.

We work alongside your compliance, security, and engineering teams to bridge that translation gap, prioritise what genuinely matters, and embed regulatory readiness into systems rather than into binders.

Every architecture we design defaults to EU or Swiss data residency, with regional failover that stays within the same regulatory boundary.

For Swiss clients with FADP and FINMA obligations, we typically deploy to Swiss data centre regions with no transatlantic data transfer.

For EU clients, we use EU regions with GDPR-aligned governance from day one.

We do not subcontract delivery to non-EU teams without explicit client approval, and all engagement data, documents, code, design artefacts, is held in EU-resident systems by default.

Sovereignty is a starting assumption, not a feature we add on request.

Independence after handover is one of our four operating convictions, and it shapes how we scope every engagement.

Three things make the difference in practice: we recommend technology your team can realistically operate, not the most sophisticated option on the market; we build enablement and documentation into the delivery plan from the start, not as a final-week scramble; and we default to a Build-Operate-Transfer model where we run the capability with you, then progressively hand over until your team owns it end-to-end. We measure engagement success partly by how quickly our day-to-day involvement decreases, which is the opposite incentive of most consulting firms.

We're technology-agnostic in our advisory work, but in practice most of our delivery happens on the Microsoft ecosystem — Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Microsoft Fabric, Azure, and Microsoft 365 with Copilot. That's where we have the deepest engineering bench and where most European enterprises with strong governance requirements end up landing. Where clients run hybrid estates with AWS or Google Cloud components, we work with those environments directly and integrate them into the broader architecture. We will tell you honestly when a non-Microsoft solution is the better fit for a specific problem — that's part of the job.
