INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Expanding the Geography of Tech

The application of information technology not only informs our strategy and design capabilities, but extends to innovation R&D. We develop IT strategies for both public and private sector organizations, applying startup business models to create robust transactions, pricing frameworks, and stakeholder services that link commercial viability to positive outcomes for customers and citizens alike.  We develop information models and user applications, custom-made both for interim analytical tasks as well as turnkey productivity tools for use by our clients.  We are able to research, retrieve, generate, store, manipulate, and analyze multidisciplinary data sources in a variety of contexts, whether a market structure, a spatial boundary, a business model, or the functions of a new program or enterprise.

Our projects are varied across our strategy and design disciplines. At a national level, we do things like developing environmental management information systems to manage a region’s biodiversity, creating a marketplace for innovative medical services across borders, and building municipal services platforms that transform how entire cities are administered. At a more granular level, we do things like creating decision support systems for asset allocation in land and property investments, designing platforms to manage venture incubation, and building financial tracking platforms that optimize an organization's resource use. We lean towards IT strategy consulting and UX design because we excel in extracting client or user requirements and constructing design-informing processes for both usage and scaling. We undertake design production through wireframes, UX design guidelines and goal metrics, and prototyping. We interact with software engineers and have been effective in carrying complex technical designs and architectures into production.
