Who we are
We’ve walked in your shoes: 100+ years across the team
Practitioners who have done the job, on both sides of the table: 100+ combined years in enterprise data programmes, 60+ of them on Foundry and AIP, hands-on across the ecosystem around it. Here is where that judgement comes from.
Our path
How we got here
The strategy years
Big 4 strategy rooms
Big 4 directors and architects who learned how enterprises decide: how transformation gets funded, where programmes stall, and why a technically correct answer fails without a business case the board believes. We built the data platforms behind those decisions, at national and global scale.
The operational years
The front lines of industry
Then we went where the work happens: data engineering at a scale few teams see, award-winning machine learning, data for national and global decision-making, platforms run for hundreds of users. Adoption is won next to the person doing the job, and we learned that there.
The platform decade
A decade of Foundry expertise
Ten years shipping on Foundry: ontology design, pipeline architecture, operational applications, AIP. Every step owned, from the first idea to production support and training.
Now
The next phase
That judgement, applied to what comes next: ontologies built for AI agents, governance keeping them honest, and engagements built to hand over.
