It has been a pretty good start to the year for Gloucestershire-based technology and digital innovation provider Emerge Digital, which has announced contract wins valued at £200,000.
According to the Cheltenham firm the rush to its services has been helped by businesses from the region seeking to ‘mature their IT’, embrace AI (artificial intelligence) and fortify their cyber security.
Emerge Digital says the demand for its expertise is a sure-fire sign that ‘digital transformation’ is moving up the agenda for most companies in 2024.
Nigel Church, its chief executive officer, said: “All our new partnerships are embracing new technologies to streamline and enhance their service and product delivery for their customers and partners.”
Its most recent contracts have been won with businesses including OPS-BOX in Gloucester, Weston Aviation, at Gloucestershire Airport, Ritual Coffee Roasters and Circle2Success (C2S) in Cheltenham, and The HR Dept, which has offices in the county and its head office in Bristol.
“Providing industry-leading IT and technology solutions from national franchisees to independent SMEs is at the core of what we do, and these recent additions to our client roster are testament to the great work we have been doing in recent months,” said Church.
The HR Dept, a national franchise network of 60 businesses providing outsourced HR support to SMEs, hired Emerge Digital to modernise its CRM - creating and installing a new system that will be ready for the introduction of AI.
The Eagle Tower headquartered company has seen 22.5 per cent growth in the last 12 months.
In October last year it was also announcing the appointment of three new graduate apprentices to help cope with the growing demand for its services.
