Do you want to accelerate your digital transformation? Innovate to improve digital and technology services for your customers and your people? Build and enhance your in-house digital capabilities? Or improve how you use data to make informed decisions?
As a leading UK technology consultancy, Opencast works with organisations across government & public sector, healthcare, green tech & utilities, and financial & professional services to do all these things.
Organisations can struggle to accelerate digital and technology delivery because they lack access to skilled and experienced people. They need flexible resourcing options, the ability to mobilise people fast and build best practice.
By deploying skilled and experienced people, we’ll support you to accelerate your digital delivery. This will help you address your skills gaps, increase flexibility and improve your ways of working.
Opencast provides highly skilled consultants with strong delivery assurance and trusted client leadership to get people started on projects fast. We will provide you with a robust onboarding process, streamlined clearance processes and champion a people-centred culture.
Our consultants embed partnership working, and we lead and operate dynamic partner ecosystems. Experienced technology specialists, they will champion proven approaches to knowledge sharing and prepare early for seamless transitions when contracts end.
We understand that you face mounting pressures to deliver seamless, personalised digital experiences for your customers, citizens and employees. Many organisations need to address fragmented user journeys, legacy technology, rising expectations, hard-to-access information and resistance to change.
Opencast can help you to improve user experience, customer satisfaction and boost your people’s productivity.
Our people will embed user-centred principles and bring a holistic, service design mindset. They work with you to shape a strong product and service vision, and facilitate alignment and collaboration, enabling seamless multi-disciplinary working.
We take an agile approach, focused on developing an MVP to deliver value early. This means deploying rigorous user research methods, combined with an inclusive and accessible approach to design and evidence-based decision making.
Our consultants adopt high engineering standards and test, learn and iterate throughout the software development lifecycle. With a ‘build it, run it’ mentality, this approach will help your new products and services seamlessly transition into live.
We understand that organisations can struggle to modernise IT systems and optimise technology because of legacy infrastructure, fragmented data, cultural resistance and misaligned strategies. This hinders innovation, agility and affects your return on investment.
Our consultants will work with you to improve your IT estate, addressing outdated, insecure, resource-intensive technologies. They will help you improve efficiencies and processes, reducing costs and enhancing security and compliance.
Opencast offers a cloud-first and technology-agnostic approach. Our consultants will assess your existing technology estate and understand your pain points and business goals with a problem-solving, adaptable mindset. That means looking at ways to optimise your infrastructure, helping you make more informed, data-driven decisions.
We will harness proven methods and frameworks and follow ‘secure by design’ principles. Our consultants bring a proactive approach to risk management and advocate for best practices in change management. They proactively look for opportunities for outcome-based innovation and continuous improvements to future proof, scale and adapt.
Despite the huge promise of emerging tech, from agentic AI to quantum computing, we know organisations face challenges when innovating at pace. Aversion to risk, gaps in talent and fragmented execution can limit your ability to realise expected benefits and maximise return on investment.
Opencast will help you explore emerging technologies and drive a culture of innovation. That could mean using machine learning for better decision making to streamline operations, deploying generative AI to analyse data or enhance customer experiences, or implementing intelligent automation to improve quality and realise efficiencies.
Through our dedicated Innovation Lab, we work with organisations to co-create solutions to complex problems, leveraging AI and other emerging technologies. Our consultants follow industry standards, frame problems in the context of user needs and support organisations to nurture leadership buy-in.
Opencast’s diverse teams bring different perspectives and a ‘fail fast’ mindset. We prototype and test ideas with real users, iterating and improving to implement solutions that work.
We know that many organisations sit on vast amounts of data, but often struggle to turn it into useful, actionable insights because of poor data quality, siloed systems and limited analytical capabilities. This can undermine confidence and timely decision-making.
Opencast’s consultants will empower you to make better, more informed decisions. They will reduce data errors, improve quality, enhance governance and make your data more accessible.
We’ll help you develop a strong vision for data use, assessing your data maturity. Our consultants can help you to design your data architecture, data models and schemas and collect, clean and analyse data for insights. And they will develop and integrate data products and services to build your capabilities in business intelligence.
