Legacy defence systems can't move fast enough

Mission-critical systems built for a slower era now have to support multi-domain autonomy and real-time AI decision support. Many weren't built for either.

Let’s get specific

The margin for error in defence and space keeps shrinking.

Government and defence leaders carry the same tension. Mission, logistics, and intelligence data are spread across disconnected legacy systems, while adversaries grow more sophisticated. Up to 75% of military IT budgets are spent just keeping ageing systems running. The model itself is only 10% of the effort. Roughly 70% of AI success comes from redesigning operational workflows and building solid data foundations. Peak conflict and contested logistics expose every weak point in the digital backbone.

Defense technology gaps.

The threat moves faster than most mission-critical systems can respond.

Data in disconnected systems

Mission, logistics, and intelligence data sit spread across legacy platforms that were never built to talk to each other. Every weak point in that digital backbone gets exposed the moment conflict or contested logistics puts real pressure on it.

Budgets spent standing still

Up to 75% of military IT budgets go on just keeping ageing systems running, leaving little left for the multi-domain autonomy and sovereign cloud capabilities the 2025 UK Strategic Defence Review demands.

AI stuck at POC

Only 26% of organisations move beyond AI pilots. The model is never the hard part, it's 10% of the effort. Most legacy platforms can't support the workflow redesign and data foundations the other 90% depends on.

What good looks like for defense and space.

01

Asset maintenance and strategic readiness

02

Sensor intelligence and multi-INT fusion

03

Sovereign cloud and resilient foundations

04

Legacy software modernisation

Why Beyond

The algorithm is only 10% of the effort.

Real operational advantage does not come from building more prototypes. It comes from fusing siloed data, wrapping guardrails around AI models, and embedding intelligent automation directly into frontline workflows.

01

Predictive asset maintenance

Continuous telemetry streaming, anomaly detection, and remaining-useful-life regression to prevent platform failures before they occur.

02

Sensor fusion and edge AI

Deploying quantized models to edge devices like Coral TPUs for real-time target recognition and situational awareness in disconnected environments.

03

Contested logistics and parts matching

Multimodal search and GenAI catalog harmonization to resolve duplicate SKUs and identify substitute parts during supply chain disruptions.

04

Sovereign knowledge assistants

Grounded GenAI document retrieval over complex policy, procurement, and technical documentation at the OFFICIAL classification level.

05

AI-led software modernisation

Using Gemini-driven automated code analysis and translation to modernize legacy mainframe applications into cloud-native architectures.

Services built for defense and space.

Cloud and data modernisation

Migrating mission networks and data platforms off legacy infrastructure to modern, scalable sovereign Google Cloud foundations that hold under contested operations.

AI adoption and scaling

Building the data foundations behind algorithmic pricing, underwriting models, and claims automation, and deploying agentic workflows across the policy lifecycle.

Customer experience and commerce

Designing broker portals and direct-to-consumer platforms that convert and retain, including conversational and agent-led servicing.

Security

GRC frameworks matched to insurance regulation wherever you operate, plus Google SecOps for real-time threat detection and automated fraud monitoring.

Digital workplace

Genuine Workspace and Gemini adoption across underwriting, claims, and operations teams.

Not sure where to start?

Start where you need us.

A regulator's finding, a board directive, or a competitor's launch usually decides where an insurer starts with us. All three are valid starting points, and none require the others to happen first.

01

Foundations first

Get compliant, secure, and audit ready, whether that's the whole engagement or the base for what's built on top of it.

02

Data and AI

Modernise pricing, underwriting, and risk decisioning without waiting on a wider transformation programme.

03

Customer experience

Rebuild broker and policyholder platforms to compete with insurtechs, independent of what's happening underneath.

Proven at scale
Company

From weeks to 10 seconds. We built the world's first fully digital broker portal for Ki Insurance, replacing manual negotiation with instant, data-driven pricing.

Why Beyond?

We help insurers move at the market's pace without losing the regulator's confidence.

01

15 years of insurance experience

Deep experience across insurance, underwriting, and claims, built with the sector's regulatory and operational realities in mind, wherever you're licensed to operate.

02

Regulatory-grade delivery

Trusted by heavily regulated organisations, where getting compliance wrong means regulatory action, not just cost.

03

The complete lifecycle

Cloud foundations, data, AI, security, and customer experience under one roof.

04

Proof at the frontier

Experience building first-of-a-kind platforms from scratch, not just modernising what already exists, even in the most cautious corners of insurance.
