Advisory
Independent technical judgement before decisions become expensive
Useful when a leadership team needs a clear view on technology options, architecture risk, AI adoption, cloud direction or supplier proposals before committing budget.
Using technology, data and AI to help people do better work.
Technology, data, cloud and AI support for practical business improvement.
Progon IT Limited helps organisations modernise systems, improve data capability and use AI in ways that support people, improve productivity and create room for better decisions.
Senior technology judgement and hands-on delivery support for founders, leadership teams, recruiters and delivery organisations that need advice grounded in real implementation experience.
Where this helps
When technology decisions need both judgement and delivery reality.
Many organisations are trying to modernise systems, improve reporting, make better use of cloud platforms or understand where AI may genuinely help. The difficult part is often not the tool choice. It is knowing what problem is being solved, whether the data can support it and what delivery route is realistic.
Progon IT Limited supports situations where senior technical judgement needs to stay close to implementation, so decisions are commercially sensible, technically realistic and useful to the people who depend on the systems.
Engagement routes
Advisory, fractional leadership and senior hands-on delivery.
Fractional support
Senior technology input without a permanent executive hire
Useful for founders, CTOs, CIOs and senior managers who need regular technical challenge, delivery oversight and governance-aware support while plans mature.
Hands-on delivery
Engineering capability for software, data, cloud and AI-enabled work
Useful where a team needs senior C#/.NET, Azure, SQL Server, data engineering, integration or AI application architecture experience on real delivery work.
Selected delivery evidence
Practical background across systems, data platforms and business-critical delivery.
The background behind Progon IT Limited includes long-running commercial delivery across software engineering, financial systems, retail data migration, Azure platforms, integration and governance-aware data work.
Retail data and migration
Azure data platforms supporting finance and retail operations
Delivery experience includes SAP and Navision data migration into Dynamics 365 and Azure analytics platforms, Azure Synapse and Data Factory pipelines, Azure Data Lake, data marts, validation reports, Azure Functions and secure finance datasets using role-based access, row-level security and data masking.
Useful where legacy ERP, spreadsheet-heavy reporting or fragmented operational data needs stronger validation, clearer ownership and a more reliable Azure data foundation.
Financial systems
Business-critical engineering in regulated environments
Earlier delivery environments included front office, middle office, finance, compliance, reconciliation, trade capture, P&L, MI, APIs, Windows Services, web applications and enterprise messaging systems across investment banking and asset management settings.
Useful where data-intensive systems need accuracy, reliability, maintainability and close alignment with business users, operational teams and technical stakeholders.
AI-ready architecture
Connecting data platforms with AI-enabled applications
Recent focus includes Azure AI Foundry, Copilot Studio, Azure AI Services, OpenAI integration, RAG, embeddings, orchestration, agent patterns, responsible AI, access control, data quality, privacy, governance and cost considerations.
Useful where AI ideas need to be tested against the realities of data quality, security, ownership, integration, cost and practical delivery.
How Progon IT can help
Support across modernisation, AI adoption and delivery risk.
Cloud and data platform modernisation
For organisations where reporting, migration, analytics or AI ambitions are being held back by fragmented data, legacy processes or unclear ownership.
Practical AI adoption and governance
For teams assessing AI ideas, agent workflows or vendor proposals and needing a grounded view of value, risk, data readiness, cost and implementation options.
Software architecture and delivery support
For projects that need senior engineering judgement across C#/.NET, APIs, SQL Server, integration, maintainability and delivery choices.
Legacy systems review and modernisation
For systems that are difficult to change but still business-critical, where the right answer may be staged improvement rather than a risky rewrite.
Delivery environments
Enterprise experience with current technology focus.
Recent enterprise delivery includes Azure data platform, migration and analytics work in retail. Earlier financial services work included trade capture, reconciliation, reporting, front office, middle office, APIs and enterprise messaging systems.
Previous delivery environments include Carpetright, Barclays Capital, BlueCrest Capital Management, Deutsche Bank, NatWest, Unilever and Enron.
