Platform Action have been a real asset to the implementation and delivery of our investment platform for the Liberty Group. One of the most important aspects for our build is to operate as a true start-up “Fintech” business with an entrepreneurial mindset as it relates to timelines and delivery. Platform Action have been instrumental in assisting us drive and implement this thinking and way of working together with keeping our delivery on track. One could say that they have enabled us to act as a “juggerniche” with the thinking and implementation of a juggernaut organisation vis-a-vis being part of one of the largest asset management and Life companies in South Africa, but with the nimbleness and speed of execution of a niche player with entrepreneurial mindset and action. We believe their expertise has saved us both time and money through our implementation and that they are often the voice of reason between us and our software vendor. They bring big picture implementation thinking together with hands on delivery experience.      

I would highly recommend the services of Platform Action. Their team have added enormous value across many areas of our project this year. They have excellent experience at project assurance and giving guidance at both Executive and project team levels. What is unusual and unique, from a consultancy perspective, is their ability to offer technical and practical implementation support. Matt Roblin, in particular, has been instrumental in helping us to establish both our IT infrastructure and IT Operations. His technical knowledge on infrastructure and integration has helped us in both the set up activities and the operational issue resolution. His attitude is to act as a true delivery partner with us, as part of our team, rather than just offer theoretical advice from the side-lines. It has been a pleasure working with the Platform Action team and I can safely say that our project would not have been able to deliver this year without their expertise and support.

Dave, Richard and the team brought significant sector knowledge and expertise, a programmatic approach to development and, most importantly, they fitted into the Novia culture. We value quality and delivery over process and the team delivered in very tight timescales, creating a very strong team with a real sense of purpose and achievement.
