Built to advise.
Staffed to build.

Most consultancies hand over a deck. We hand over running systems. Four practices, one integrated delivery model - from the first architecture sketch to the millionth transaction.

Practice 01 Engineering team collaborating on screens

Digital Engineering

Enterprise applications with a decade of runway.

We design and engineer the bespoke systems multinationals run their business on - core platforms, workflow engines, mobile and desktop applications - built for regulatory scrutiny, global user bases and continuous evolution.

  • Custom enterprise platforms & core system modernisation
  • Mobile and cross-platform product engineering
  • API ecosystems, integration & event-driven architecture
  • Quality engineering, security & performance by design
Practice 02 Designer working on a digital interface

Experience Platforms

Digital estates that carry a global brand.

Corporate web estates, customer portals, commerce and content platforms - engineered so that a brand's most public surface is also its most reliable one. Measured in conversion, accessibility and speed, in every market and language.

  • Global web estates, portals & headless content platforms
  • Digital commerce & customer self-service
  • Experience design systems & accessibility at scale
  • Performance engineering & search visibility
Practice 03 Global data network visualisation

Cloud & Data

Foundations that turn data into an operating advantage.

We build the cloud platforms and governed data estates that let an enterprise ask better questions - and act on the answers. Landing zones, analytics platforms, intelligent automation and the guardrails that keep it all auditable.

  • Cloud strategy, migration & platform engineering
  • Data platforms, analytics & decision intelligence
  • Applied AI & intelligent automation, governed end to end
  • Reliability engineering & managed evolution

Technology Advisory

Counsel for decade-scale decisions.

Boards and CIOs engage us when the question is bigger than a project: what to build, what to buy, what to retire, and how to organise the people around all three. Our advisors carry engineering credentials - so the roadmap survives contact with reality.

  • Enterprise architecture & technology roadmaps
  • Digital operating models & engineering organisation design
  • Vendor & platform selection, due diligence
  • Transformation assurance & delivery governance

Our Method

Five movements, one continuous engagement.

Drag to explore ➞
01

Discover

We immerse in your business, systems and constraints - interviewing operators, reading code, mapping the true landscape rather than the org-chart version of it.

02

Blueprint

Architecture, sequencing and economics on one page. Every recommendation priced, staged and reversible - a plan leadership can actually govern.

03

Engineer

Integrated squads across Amsterdam, Pune and Nashik build in short, inspectable increments - with security, quality and compliance in the pipeline, not appended to it.

04

Scale

Rollout across markets, brands and business units - performance-tested, localised and instrumented so adoption is measured, not assumed.

05

Operate

We stay accountable in production: managed evolution, reliability engineering and a roadmap that keeps compounding value long after launch.

Engagement Models

Three ways to work with the firm.

A standing relationship in which H&B acts as an extension of your technology leadership - owning a portfolio of platforms, advising on direction and flexing capacity across initiatives as priorities shift.
Dedicated squadsQuarterly business reviewsRoadmap co-ownership
A single consequential outcome - a platform launched, a core system modernised, a data estate stood up - scoped, priced and governed against milestones, with our name on the result.
Fixed milestonesTransparent governanceWarranty period
Direct access to our principals for architecture reviews, vendor decisions, due diligence and board-level technology questions - without mobilising a delivery team.
