We are a small team and we want to keep our software engineers focused on product development. With AK we were able to ring fence the whole project and hand it over. Although the problem required a bespoke solution it didn’t feel difficult. The whole platform was designed, built, and managed with minimum input required from us

Armakuni made a significant impact. While they improved team productivity and quality, what stood out was their in-depth assessment of our engineering capability. Their report highlighted key risks we hadn't identified and guided our strategic decisions for years.

Armakuni is a professional and skilled consultancy in a field crowded with less reliable players.

Comic Relief

When I was COO of Comic Relief, I faced significant technology challenges, including outdated donation processes. I commissioned Armakuni to build a state-of-the-art donation platform, and they exceeded expectations. Delivered on time and within budget, the platform contributed to Comic Relief surpassing £100m in donations for the first time. Their work remains vital to this day.

I highly recommend Armakuni.
