Collaboration at the Heart of Ingentive ' s Digital Strategy

Ingentive collaborates with organisations like QMUL and Microsoft , providing recommendations to digitally transform services and boost innovation .
Ingentive , a trusted Microsoft technology partner , holds collaboration at the heart of its digital transformation focus .
“ We have to be consultative and collaborative as ironically , the more technology changes the less we talk about it , and our focus shifts to providing business and functional outcomes , or solving a business challenge which requires getting under the skin of what our clients need to achieve or how they need to evolve ” comments Jo Feldman , CCO at Ingentive . “ The rate of change is exponentially accelerating , thanks to technologies like AI .”
Striving to empower businesses to drive innovative progress , enhance collaboration and achieve objectives , the company engages with Microsoft platforms to deliver strategic business workshops .
Providing digitally-positive outcomes
Ingentive utilises its strong understanding of the Microsoft stack to make informed recommendations to its clients . It boasts a range of managed services to manage vulnerabilities and uptime . “ We use our Microsoft expertise and strategic funded investments to provide great outcomes for our clients and strategic direction and thought leadership with Microsoft ’ s investment , and partnership ” Jo says .
He adds : “ We use design-thinking principles to really understand what the business is looking to achieve , following which , we get into the technology .
Once we understand the business strategy and the role that technology plays within that , we can make some really informed recommendations to accelerate change , reduce friction and mitigate risk , focusing both on the quick wins and the longer term , strategic change programs .”
Partnership with QMUL
This strategy is essential to its digital partnership with Queen Mary University of London ( QMUL ). Having partnered with the university for more than a year , Ingentive engages with Microsoft platforms to digitally transform QMUL through a range of technological services .
“ We take the same , very consultative approach to our engagement ,” Jo explains . “ We wanted to understand how the University operates , following which we identified some significant opportunities for transformation .”
In order to enhance their growing partnership , Ingentive are now realising some of the benefits that their applications have afforded QMUL . In particular , their vulnerability tracker built with the Microsoft Power Platform stack has resulted in QMUL ’ s Cyber Health Impact score jumping from 72 % to 86 % in just six months .
“ We ’ re seeing that figure accelerate so we should start to see even more impact moving forward .” Jo says .
