Each week we interview one of our members to find out a bit more about them and their work in the Greater Manchester digital sphere. This week we're speaking with North-West based digital technology transformation business, interc商业解决方案.
你的组织是做什么的?
interc商业解决方案 is a leading North West based digital technology transformation consultancy. We help businesses understand and see real value from their technology systems and investments. 在inTec，我们做事方式不同. 而不是简单地销售“现成的”技术包, we give businesses of all shapes and sizes access to a range of independent consultants offering an end-to-end service. We know business technology change can be challenging and time consuming so we provide the joined-up thinking.
What do you think is currently the biggest issue facing the digital and tech industry?
安全性和数据遵从性. Forward-thinking organisations are now implementing privacy by design in their products, but making sure those efforts meet GDPR standards is an ongoing concern. Tech leaders are also gearing-up for next-generation, AI-driven cyber attacks.
你的组织最大的成就是什么?
In 2018, 国际电信公司获得了500英镑的贷款,000 investment from NPIF (the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund) - Maven Equity Finance to support the creation of more than 40 jobs and help us to develop and grow our network via our ‘buy and build’ strategy. Our goal is to build a network of Regional Technology Hubs to provide specialist support services and expanded product portfolio to existing telecoms business partners and their customers. Since 2018, we’ve acquired three well-established telecom businesses in the North West and Midlands. Our clearly defined acquisition strategy builds upon our extensive market experience and desire to truly partner with vendors and their customers and our collegiate approach is unique in the market.
What would you consider to be your organisation's biggest challenge?
Many businesses still do not recognise the need for nor understand the significance of introducing new technology into their organisation. They are frustrated with their current technology setup and often know that they need to improve their processes but haven’t got the time or resources to research properly. There is a lot of fear of the unknown in relation to new technology with a common misconception that new platforms and processes would be extremely expensive. Our challenge as a company is to overcome these common concerns.
What do you think the future looks like for Manchester’s digital and tech sector?
去年, inTec had the pleasure of welcoming the Mayor of Greater Manchester, 安迪•伯纳姆, 去我们的办公室. 安迪见到了国际互联网公司的董事长, Simon Howitt和Hale communications的总经理, 罗伯·戴伊, 以及国际通信公司和海尔通信公司的团队. 安迪讨论了北方经济振兴投资基金, the digital revolution within Greater Manchester and the important role of businesses such as ours in the region in regards to economic growth, 业务发展及就业. Andy stated that “digital in all of its guises is an unparalleled strength of Greater Manchester compared to other UK cities, outside of London” and “there is a growing sense that this is a real centre of excellence when it comes to digital, 网络与科技.” Andy went on to explain that his aim is to make Greater Manchester the UK’s leading digital city region.
告诉我们一些全球最大的博彩平台贵公司我们可能不知道的事情?
通常, strategic consultants can offer insight and make recommendations that then require you to rely on a third-party for delivery or implementation. Many consultants fail to understand the detail (particularly when it comes to technology). 另一方面, product-led suppliers don’t always take the time to understand your business and its future plans, meaning you might end up with technology that just isn’t fit for purpose. 在inTec，我们的方法是不同的. By working with you to fully understand your business strategy and infrastructure – applying both our strategic expertise AND product knowledge – we optimise both areas simultaneously. This ensures we add value and that the technology we deliver, 会帮助你实现你的商业目标吗.
