A new approach to developing technology for public purpose.


Public Sector Technology Specialists
More efficient. More effective.
The government is being asked to do more with less. This is possible when it comes to delivering and developing new products and services.
The story of government tech has been written by providers who profit from complexity and dependency. Their large-scale, bespoke systems are designed less for adaptability and more for perpetual service contracts. We reject this story. Read about why...
Start small. Add value.
Starting small in project development is a strategic move, offering agility and precise alignment with user needs. It enables rapid adaptation and continuous refinement, building stakeholder confidence through demonstrable value. This approach reduces risk, optimises resources, and fosters ongoing improvement, ensuring every step is robust and value-driven. It's a smart, sustainable path to achieving impactful and efficient technological solutions.
How we work.
Design: Using your expertise in the problem/project, we can give you a deep understanding of the technology options available.
Prototype: We build prototypes to test different idea concepts, technologies and functionalities, ensuring they add value.
Iteratively build: We will iteratively build your project, continuously refining and enhancing the solution based on feedback and testing,
Scale and support: When it's ready for scale, we can deliver the project and ensure it's supported as required.
Open Source Specialists.
Why build it from scratch on your dime when we can start with what already works?
Our expertise in open-source technology enables us to create secure, efficient, and cost-effective software solutions that align with government standards and requirements. By leveraging open source, we ensure that our software/products are reliable and adaptable to your changing needs.
Expert partners.
You have the subject matter expertise. We bring the technical expertise. We work with our G partners who specialise in AI, design, system integration, web development, mobile apps, GovTech, CMS, and LMS to deliver top-quality public purpose technology solutions. This collaborative approach ensures we leverage the best skills and knowledge based on your project needs, not our preferences.
Public technology projects that have benefited from this approach
We are a new entity so these testimonials from previous roles, but about us as a team of individuals.
“A key ingredient to the success of our project was working alongside the team of great people who had technical knowledge and experience. The team guided us through a process that made us question everything and view the challenges we were working on from different perspectives. This really helped us refine our thinking, clarify and test our prototype and launch our project forward’”
— Leslynne Jackson, Manaaki Tairawhiti


“Jonnie’s team introduced us to a range of innovative tools, techniques and processes which allowed us to quickly understand our customers and develop the solutions to address our project goals. The team have extensive expertise in the innovation field and were always available to answer questions and provide valuable insights and feedback. They helped us connect with experts in project management, governance, design and technology allowing us to deliver something in a time-frame that would have seemed impossible in a BAU government environment."
— Glen Clarkin, Bay of Plenty Regional Council
