Digital Transformation & Consulting

End-to-end solutions that revolutionise how you do business, with strategic guidance every step of the way.

Digital transformation isn't just about adopting new technology — it's about fundamentally improving how your business operates. At Porter Phillips, we combine strategic consulting with hands-on technical delivery to help businesses across Yorkshire and the UK modernise their operations, embrace cloud technology, and build the digital capabilities they need to compete. Based in Selby, North Yorkshire, we bring a practical, results-focused approach to transformation that prioritises tangible business outcomes over technology for technology's sake.

Technology Strategy and Roadmapping

We help you develop a clear technology strategy that aligns with your business objectives. Our consulting engagements begin with a thorough assessment of your current technology landscape, business processes, and growth ambitions. We identify opportunities for improvement, evaluate technology options, and produce a prioritised roadmap that balances quick wins with long-term strategic investments. Our roadmaps are practical and actionable — not slide decks that gather dust. We define clear milestones, budget estimates, and success metrics so you can track progress and measure return on investment.

Cloud Migration Strategy

Moving to the cloud is one of the most impactful transformations a business can undertake, but it needs to be planned carefully. We develop cloud migration strategies using an Azure-first approach, assessing each workload for the most appropriate migration pattern: rehost, refactor, rearchitect, or rebuild. We consider security, compliance, cost optimisation, and performance requirements to ensure your cloud environment is right for your business. Our migration plans include detailed timelines, risk mitigation strategies, and training programmes to ensure a smooth transition.

Business Process Optimisation

Before automating a process, it's worth asking whether the process itself is optimal. We work with your teams to map current workflows, identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies, and redesign processes to be leaner and more effective. Only then do we look at how technology can support and automate these improved processes. This approach ensures you're not just digitising inefficiency — you're genuinely transforming how work gets done. We've helped businesses reduce processing times by 60% or more through combined process redesign and automation.

Security and Compliance

Digital transformation must be built on a foundation of security. We conduct security assessments, implement identity and access management solutions, configure Azure Security Centre, and ensure your systems meet regulatory requirements. Whether you're dealing with GDPR, PCI DSS, or industry-specific compliance standards, we help you navigate the requirements and implement appropriate controls. Security isn't something we add at the end — it's embedded into every recommendation and implementation from the start.

Team Training and Knowledge Transfer

Sustainable digital transformation requires your team to be capable and confident with new technologies. We provide comprehensive training programmes covering .NET development, Azure cloud services, DevOps practices, and whatever else your team needs to own and maintain the solutions we implement. Our training is practical and hands-on, delivered by the same engineers who build the solutions. We don't just hand over documentation — we ensure your team genuinely understands the systems they're working with.

Frequently Asked Questions

Digital transformation means using technology to fundamentally improve how your business operates. This could mean automating manual processes, moving to the cloud for greater flexibility, building better customer experiences, or using data to make smarter decisions. The specifics depend entirely on your business and where the greatest opportunities for improvement lie.
Transformation is typically a journey rather than a single project. We start with a strategy and roadmap phase (4-8 weeks), then execute in phases, delivering value incrementally. A full transformation programme might span 12-24 months, but you'll see meaningful improvements within the first few months.
Not necessarily. We take a pragmatic approach, modernising what needs modernising and preserving what still works. Often the best approach is to integrate existing systems with new capabilities rather than replacing everything. We evaluate each system on its merits and recommend the most cost-effective path forward.
