The SPG ecosystem now includes two distinct but complementary pillars: SPG Resourcing, its specialist recruitment and talent arm; and SPG Intelligence, which is targeting public and private sector organisations looking to modernise cloud infrastructure, enhance digital security and embed AI tools such as agents and automation into everyday operations. Gareth Humphreys, Group CEO at SPG Intelligence, said: “Our clients aren’t asking if they should use AI; they’re asking how fast they can make it happen. The launch is about responding to that urgency. We’ve redeployed talent, refined our focus and are ready to scale.” He added: “We’ve seen the number of AI and machine learning projects we undertake grow in volume and complexity. Now is the right time to grow our capacity in this area and enable us to help more companies.” www.spgintelligence.com Apogee accelerates IT efficiency at supercar manufacturer Gordon Murray Group has appointed managed workplace services provider Apogee as its primary IT partner to oversee and manage all its IT assets, including 350 laptops. With a focus on streamlining device management, enhancing security and automating processes, the partnership has already brought significant benefits to the British manufacturer of lightweight supercars such as the T.50, T.50s, T.33 and T.33 Spider. Automated device configuration, deployment and management through Windows Autopilot and Microsoft Intune has led to thirty times faster laptop setup times and reduced the IT workload; consolidation of the laptop estate from 60-plus models to just two HP devices has helped simplify support and inventory management; the shift from a CAPEX to an OPEX model has freed up capital and made costs more predictable; and cloud-based endpoint management has been aligned with cybersecurity best practices. Wayne Clements, Head of IT at Gordon Murray Group, said: “Being a young, niche manufacturer, agility is absolutely key for us. With Apogee as one of our key strategic IT suppliers, our colleagues are benefiting from updated hardware, consistent secure builds and rapid deployment.” apogeecorp.com … IT Naturally partners with Evolve IP Peterborough-based MSP IT Naturally has enhanced its product offering with enterprise-grade, white-label, cloud-based collaboration solutions from Evolve IP’s Anywhere Product Suite.

Built on Microsoft Azure and boasting a growing roadmap of connectors and integrations for leading enterprise platforms, the LEO platform enables businesses to connect anything to anything, seamlessly integrating cloud and on-premises applications through a secure, scalable, costeffective Integration as a Service (IaaS) model. Embridge Consulting Chief Product Officer Faye O’Connell said: “Integration is one of the biggest challenges in digital transformation. Aside from the fact that a lack of integration increases data siloes and the likelihood of manual errors, it also prevents accurate BI and AI adoption. As organisations transition to cloud-based ERP and SaaS ecosystems, they need a secure, flexible and hassle-free way to connect their applications, which delivers accurate reporting and data insights and drives the inevitable adoption of new and advanced technologies. LEO is our response to this growing need, helping businesses move away from expensive, high-maintenance integrations to a fully managed, scalable solution that evolves with them.” The launch of LEO comes at an exciting time for Embridge, which recently celebrated its 15-year anniversary, welcomed two new Board members to drive its next period of growth and won a place on the G-Cloud 14 public sector framework. https://embridgeconsulting.com Endava appointed implementation partner for Google Agentspace Endava, the technology-driven business transformation group, has become an implementation partner for Google Agentspace, a platform for embedding intelligent AI agents across workflows.
