Continuous innovation with Codec Labs

Turn good ideas into measurable value. Our innovative products deliver results through proven and continuously refined methodologies.

Codec Labs adds extra features to Microsoft solutions while minimising customisation and code development.

As an 11-time Microsoft Dynamics Partner of the Year, we saw a client need for specialised pieces of software innovation on top of the Microsoft technology stack. We also saw a need to solve common problems faster, without reinventing the wheel each time. Codec Labs delivers these new features as ready-to-go, 'software accelerator' products. These accelerators, combined with agile working methods, can quickly deliver benefits with minimal customisation. This structured approach fosters a culture of innovation that extends to each of our clients, providing flexibility and responsiveness few MSP's can rival.

What difference does it make?

Innovation requires a framework for generating new ideas that can be delivered reliably. We use our unique project delivery framework to ensure the following benefits for our clients:
