To start, David provides a brief overview of the firm and offers more insight into its clientele. “Founded in the midst of a banking crisis, Enterprise Blueprints provides IT strategy and IT architecture services to some of the major UK banks and financial services companies. Having worked with three of the top five banks in the UK, as well as a range of other financial service organisations, we have a significant amount of experience to call upon. “The firm’s mission is to be a leader in architecture excellence and in pursuit of our goal we focus on hiring and developing some of the very best architects, and developing our services and intellectual assets. Naturally, we are one of a very small number of companies to focus solely on architecture, particularly in the financial services domain. Enterprise Blueprints was founded upon three core principles that lie at the heart of the business, excellence, trusted relationships, and contribution. These are as true today as they were ten years ago.” With a number of competitors in the region able to offer IT consulting services the firm has had to raise its game in order to differentiate themselves from others in the field as David explains further. “Enterprise Blueprints is unique in offering specialist IT architecture services that are independent of any upstream or downstream influences, such as choosing a particular software solution. In addition to gain an edge on our closest rivals, we offer expert unbiased advice.” “Regarding the internal culture in place, a key element which has made Enterprise Blueprints the firm it is today has been self-reliance as David explains further. “Many of our employees and associates are out with clients for long periods of time, so we are always trying to find the balance between structure and freedom. Similarly, in recruitment, we have a common thread of hiring people who are great with technology and are self-reliant. Additionally, they must possess excellent communication skills to enable creating outcomes for clients.” Despite coronavirus and Brexit causing a great deal of uncertainty over the last 12 months, David believes there are reasons to be optimistic about the future moving forward. “The outbreak of COVID-19 earlier this year presented many tough challenges to businesses across the country. However, there has been a slow improvement to business after the summer and with remote working now becoming the new normal, this will be a key factor going forward.” Finally, David comments on the benefits of the firm’s location before outlining some of its plans for 2021 and beyond. “Arguably the main benefit of being London based is that the major financial services organisations and many of the associated Fintech’s at least have their headquarters here. Additionally, there is a strong base of excellent talent in London and around the South East. Looking ahead we would like to grow the company to 100 architects and to be the preeminent IT architecture consultancy in the UK.” Company: Enterprise Blueprints Ltd Contact: David Taylor Web: www.enterpriseblueprints.com Established in 2008, Enterprise Blueprints Ltd is a specialist IT consultancy.
