Digiterre is a software and data engineering consultancy that enables technological and organisational transformation for many of the world’s leading organisations. We envisage, design and deliver software and data engineering solutions that users want, need and love to use. Our key insight after 20 years of solving enterprise-level, technology-related challenges, is that much of the technology that organisations have implemented in prior years, has primarily addressed the symptoms relating to pressing matters such as satisfying urgent client reporting or regulatory compliance requirements, which in turn has created a culture of ad hoc solutions which require high levels of manual oversight or data manipulation. This, in turn, limits the rate of digital adoption in the organisation and creates "friction"​ which is both costly and cumbersome, hampering innovation. The value that Digiterre brings to its clients is as follows: - the key insight that most of the significant challenges that enterprises face now, relate in some way to creating a single view of the truth across the many and varied data sources that exist inside and outside the organisation, - the realisation that most of the solutions to date, have concentrated on addressing only the symptoms and not the causes of these disparate data sources. - proven technology for solving these challenges quickly and cost-effectively, in a manner that scales with your organisation and builds in scope for future change - a pragmatic and highly agile way of creating the necessary levels of transformation developed over two decades of agile development and enterprise transformation, which seeks to engage a wide stakeholder community and to promote the transfer of knowledge and skills between the Digiterre and client teams, from the outset. We have worked with over 130 clients across banking, Asset Management and Energy & Commodities Traders across Americas, EMEA and AsiaPac.
