Digital Catapult

As a leading innovation center, Digital Catapult has themselves seen tremendous growth in recent years.

Managing collaboration and communication across in-office and remote employees requires new processes and tools. Additionally, scaling hybrid services with surging demand stretches resources and capabilities. As an organisation predicated on technological advancement, Digital Catapult must ensure its internal digital infrastructure supports flexible working arrangements. Adapting company culture to a distributed workforce also poses hurdles.  Digital Catapult faces the complex task of becoming a seamless hybrid operation that can deliver consistent services and experiences.
