What We Do
Our capabilities
Our services span the entire product lifecycle, from idea validation and proof of value, through to end-to-end digital product development. Learn more about our focus areas below.
Application Modernisation
We help you define, or redefine, the technology and implementation practices within your organisation to promote improved efficiency and speed to market. Our focus is on automating infrastructure through cloud, microservices, CI/CD , Kubernetes and upskilling teams using a DevOps approach. In particular, our rapid assessment of an organisation’s current infrastructure helps identify where inefficiencies exist, where performance can be improved and where costs can be reduced—striking the right balance between cloud performance and cost. Find out more about our cloud optimisation capabilities.
Some examples:
Cloud-first platform
DiUS partnered with nib to help them create a cloud platform that would enable the business to continually innovate, experiment and build competitive advantage, as well as enable the business to live its value of challenging the status quo.
Serverless CMS infrastructure
DiUS helped CarAdvice migrate its existing Content Management System towards a serverless infrastructure; accelerating a shift towards an API-driven architecture.
Winning back the customer
DiUS partnered with Vodafone to improve the experience of their customers; responding to their desire to self serve rather than use traditional service options.
We provide expertise across the entire product lifecycle from ideation and service design, design sprints, proof of concepts, creating a minimum viable product and then building a cloud-native product to scale. Using a mix of lean user experience (UX) design and research methods – along with analytics, market research and user testing – our team facilitate and execute tech solutions, enabling you to make decisions quickly and with confidence.
