We're not a traditional consultancy. Our team has served as CTO, CISO, and lead architect in organisations where technology failures have real consequences.
We started Perception Technology because we were frustrated by firms that write reports but don't deliver. We wanted to be the consultancy we wished we'd had access to - strategic guidance combined with hands-on execution capability.
We're technology leaders who've spent decades in the trenches - designing systems, leading teams, and delivering transformation in environments where getting it wrong has serious consequences.
We've served as:
We started Perception Technology to work the way we wish consultancies worked:
We speak every layer of the stack:
AWS (10+ years), Azure, GCP, multi-cloud and hybrid architectures
Microservices, legacy modernisation, API design, data architecture
Zero-trust, DevSecOps, cloud security, threat detection
Network security, HA/DR, Kubernetes, serverless
We operate at the executive level:
Where we've delivered transformation:
Good enough today beats perfect someday. We design for reality, not ideals.
We succeed when you don't need us anymore. Knowledge transfer is built in, not an afterthought.
Honest assessment, even when uncomfortable. You need clarity, not false confidence.
We build what we design. Strategy without implementation is PowerPoint.
Technology exists to serve business goals. We start with problems, not solutions.
Security designed in from day one, not added afterwards. Enables rather than blocks.
Small, reversible changes with continuous validation. Protect what works while building new.
We document, train, and mentor throughout. No proprietary knowledge traps.
The name reflects our philosophy:
Understanding how systems really behave, not how they're documented. Seeing what others miss. Strategic insight that cuts through complexity.
Deep technical capability, not just business consulting. We architect, we code, we secure, we deliver.
We reveal the hidden, architect the resilient, deliver the transformative.
