About P1 Technology Partners

Who are we?

We are not just an ideas company; we are a results company. We bridge the gap between vision and reality by innovating technology. Our goal is simple – we make work smart. We design, build and deliver in partnership with forward thinking companies. We excel in challenging and demanding IT environments.

Expertise in software and hardware allow us to create a range of technologies that provide tangible benefits to our clients. We are at the forefront of everything from mobile communications to supply chain software.

Our team has a real diversity of skills and knowledge. We have enormous experience in all things IT combined with specific experience in finance, the NHS, local government, transport and logistics, retail, leisure, oil & gas and the not-for-profit sectors.

Our special strength lies in working with businesses that are entrepreneurial and growing today, ambitious to be the large businesses of tomorrow. We understand the issues faced by growing companies as IT becomes ever more important to commercial success, and we believe we have a powerful contribution to make.

Values

We think it’s worth communicating the values that underpin P1’s work:

People: Understanding that people are at the core of every organisation. We make technology that is easy for people. We also believe that the right people for a job make all the difference.

Performance: Always striving for improvement. We provide tangible gains to give clients the edge in a fast changing world. Increasing performance means making changes even when there are no problems.

Partnerships: Building a long term relationship. We help keep our clients moving forward and ahead in a competitive market. We are there every step of the journey.

Professionalism: Doing things the right way. We take a stand against the cowboys of the industry. We believe in an honest and transparent way of working built on a foundation of trust.

A track record of increasing performance

We’ve enabled clients to use technology to launch new products and services, collect more donations, increase sales, improve cash flow, gather data in extreme locations and increase employee morale. We strive for an impeccable service experience and long term relationships with our clients

We are confident in using technology and have built two excellent teams of Microsoft technology experts. Our custom development team works primarily with .Net, SharePoint and SQL Server and has solid expertise in MS Virtual Earth development. We aim to keep ahead of the technological curve and so are already building prototype Silverlight 4.0 and .Net 4.0 framework components and applications, taking advantage of tools such as Expression Blend. We have Visual Studio 2010 on all of our developer desktops.

We are also registered members of the Apple development program and specialise in mobile application development.

Our Infrastructure and Service Management team works with the majority of the Microsoft Server System suite and has extensive knowledge of Active Directory, ISA Server, Exchange Server and Office Communications Server. The team also has significant experience with integrated third-party systems such as Neverfail, Marathon and Blackberry Enterprise along with a deep understanding of WANs, communications and VoIP.

Innovation

Our Innovation Team brings wide commercial experience and we work with a number of associate consultants who bring specialist knowledge in Sales, Marketing and Finance. We work closely with those leading their organisation to help them to define IT strategy, drive out opportunities for business change and to find solutions to existing business problems.

Our Orchestrator platform includes Mobile, Fleet and Office solutions for the transport and logistics industry and has been a market leader for more than five years.

History

Our business was established in 2003 by Jason Kay, Greg Duffield and Duncan Cardwell (pictured above left to right). Success came quickly and we now employ an exceptional team of the best business, technology and client services people in the UK.

In 2005 we were awarded Microsoft Gold Certified Partner status (at the time, the only company in Norfolk), which we’ve maintained ever since.

Two years later sister company Orchestrator was launched to provide versatile solutions for the road transport and logistics industry.

Rapid growth in 2010 has resulted in positive restructuring of P1 and Orchestrator. We have unified the business, enabling us to continue in prosperity and growth for the future.

Moving Forward

We currently have over 150 clients, half of which are based outside of East Anglia. Our workforce has grown to 35 although we expect this figure to double as we prepare to transfer operations to our exciting new work space at the heart of the business district In Norwich city centre.
