John Due

I always found the team from Beyond to be a joy to work with and they were extremely diligent in what was a difficult and delicate situation for the organisation. Their sensitivity and people first approach were evident and enabled them to quickly get to the heart of technology challenges and work as part of the wider team.

Former CISO

It was rewarding experience working with Beyond Migration and seeing the dedication and passion they bring. The solution was implemented successfully against challenging timescales which is a testament to the professionalism, expertise and investment shown in understanding the requirements and the brief from the client through to an effective and consistent implementation. The primary focus was on migration but with it there was also a significant amount of transformation which was a massive undertaking, but very much necessary for the business and out sourcing arrangement to achieve its full potential.
