Amido forms new partnership with Leeds digital design agency Hippo Digital

Amido, a vendor-agnostic technical consultancy, is partnering with Leeds-based service design agency, Hippo Digital, following a series of joint public-sector digital project wins.

The partnership will combine and increase both companies’ UK national reach, enhancing their capabilities through the combination of their skills in designing and implementing technical solutions alongside end-user focused service design.

The companies said that partnerships like Amido and Hippo Digital “utilise blended teams of consultants working in collaboration with clients to deliver digital transformation projects in both the public and private sectors, and provide an alternative to traditional global systems integrators.”

Chris Gray, chief delivery officer and co-founder of Amido, commented: “After working together on some successful public-sector and Identity and Access Management (IdAM) contracts in the areas of healthcare and defense, we recognised what the benefit of a more formal partnership between ourselves and Hippo Digital could bring to our clients.

“Success with the large public-sector IdAM projects with partners like Hippo Digital proves that SMEs can scale and compete without compromising on quality.”

Founded in 2010, London-based Amido has gained recognition across the cloud technology industry for its client implementations by ASOS, Addison Lee and Global Radio.

Amido also brings back-end engineering and programme delivery capabilities to the partnership, a service which saw the company debut at number 6 on the Technical Agencies list of the 2017 Econsultancy’s Top 100 Digital Agencies.

Adam Lewis, director and co-founder of Hippo Digital, commented: “We are passionate about delivering great outcomes for our clients, collaborating with them and with partner organisations.

“This approach worked very well with Amido and led us easily into a partnership model where we can provide a strong set of capabilities and deliver quality outcomes.”
