Innovox Innovation Oxford

From idea to delivery

Our consulting follows innovation all the way into a working service. These are the areas we work in most often: a starting point, not a limit.

Strategy and enterprise architecture

Platform and supplier decisions lock in cost and capability for years. We set clear direction before those commitments are made, and design the route to get there.

Questions we help answer

  • What should our target architecture look like, and how do we get there from today's estate?
  • Which platforms and suppliers fit our needs, budget and skills?
  • Is the design we have been proposed sound, and where are the risks?

What you get

  • Target architecture, principles and capability maps
  • Options analysis with whole-life cost and risk
  • High-level designs and architecture decision records your delivery teams can build from
  • Design authority and architecture review of designs and supplier proposals

Digital transformation

Transformation succeeds when strategy, architecture and delivery move together. We shape programmes that change how services work, and keep them honest as they run.

Questions we help answer

  • How should we structure and sequence the programme?
  • Is the programme on track, and what would bring it back if not?
  • How do we meet public sector standards and assessments with confidence?

What you get

  • A programme shape, roadmap and governance model
  • Business case and operating model design
  • Programme health checks with clear, actionable findings
  • Advice drawn from transformation experience across UK government

Complex migration

Moving off legacy systems is where many programmes get into trouble. We plan migrations so that risk is understood early and service continuity is protected, whether the destination is cloud, hybrid or a new platform on premises.

Questions we help answer

  • What is the safest route off our legacy platform, and how long will it really take?
  • How do we migrate data without losing integrity or trust?
  • What do we need in place before we cut over?

What you get

  • A migration strategy with sequencing, dependencies and fallback plans
  • Data migration and reconciliation approach
  • Cut-over readiness criteria and assurance
  • AI-assisted modernisation of COBOL, IBM i and Java estates with IBM Bob

AI architecture and governance

AI is now part of most transformation plans. We help you decide where it earns its place, design it so people can trust what it produces, and get it into production without creating new risk.

We are applying these principles while developing the Agentic Squad, so our advice is grounded in practical product work rather than presentation material alone.

Our AI architecture and research approach

Questions we help answer

  • Where will AI and automation make a measurable difference to our services?
  • How do we use AI assistants and agents with sensitive or official data?
  • How do we know the output is accurate, and who is accountable for it?

What you get

  • An AI opportunity assessment and adoption roadmap
  • Architecture for AI assistants and agentic workflows, including search and retrieval over your own knowledge
  • Controls that make AI output checkable: grounding in approved sources, traceability and automated quality checks
  • Deployment options that range from approved connected services to customer-controlled local environments
  • Designs that work across model providers, so you are not locked in to one
