In this time, we have quality assured large digital transformation programmes and understand the specific challenges based within the HE sector. Due to our experience we have a number of regression tests for out-of-the box functionality that we can re-use to save you time and money.

We have also advised many other universities, have worked with a government programme for education, one of the major broadcasters on their education platform, as well as multiple software providers developing and rolling out software for higher education.

“The ability to call on nFocus and their expertise, as and when required, is already providing benefits to the University as we continue to deliver against our ambitious Digital Strategy and programme of transformational change. Delivering tangible digital benefits to our students and staff has always been important but especially in our increasingly digital world and nFocus are proving to be a valuable partner in our continuing success.”

The nFocus team show dedication and accuracy in their work and have built strong relationships with key people. Through regular communication, we know that when support is required, this will be carried out promptly and accordingly. The partnership will support our current and upcoming projects and I look forward to further developing this in the future.”
