Online & Digital

Online and digital businesses have unique IT needs to support their operations, security, and growth. Some of the key areas include infrastructure and cloud services, data management, software development, customer service and the user experience, and of course business processes and cyber security. One more crucial aspect is how online businesses can use IT as a platform for growth.

Freeman Clarke IT leaders have deep experience in working with online and digital businesses. Here are just a few of the ways in which we’ve helped online businesses become more secure and efficient and pursue their ambitious plans for growth.

Securus

‘We are a software technology business and have been digitally safeguarding children in schools and colleges for over 17 years as well as providing services to the NHS, police forces and other sectors. As an ambitious growth-focused business, we recognised the need for a technology leader on our executive Board, but a full-time role would have been overkill. The Freeman Clarke model suited our needs, and we have been delighted with the outcomes that our quality CTO has driven. His blend of experience, commerciality and strategic focus has been a major factor in positioning us as a technology innovator.’

—Derek Allen, Chairman & Co-Founder

On3

‘On3 is a successful professional services business but we wanted to differentiate ourselves and increase our value by creating a new technology product for our customers. I needed someone to help me develop this vision, the commercial model, and then to turn this into reality. Freeman Clarke provided detailed technical knowledge and the business focus to make all this possible. From the outset, they felt like part of the team and have helped drive and contribute to all aspects of our success. We now have a thriving new business which would simply not otherwise have been possible.’

—Jill Foley, Managing Partner, On3

Pennies

‘The Pennies vision has always had technology at its heart so, from the beginning, we needed a first class technology leader as a trusted and committed member of the team. Freeman Clarke filled this gap for us and have continued to do so ever since – their part-time model means the price point works very well and given us access to specialist IT expertise we could never have afforded or required on a full time basis. They have set technology strategy, defined solutions and helped us form technology partnerships, as well as contributing to our wider board discussions. Importantly they have felt like a core member of the team and coached others so we even benefited when they were not on site! Their approach has been pragmatic, attentive and focussed. They have had a pivotal role in helping us develop our business model which happens to be in the charitable sector and has already raised hundreds of thousands of pounds.’

—Alison Hutchinson, CEO, Pennies
