The modern enterprise runs on technology.
We make sure it runs on the right architecture, with the right discipline, and secured for what comes next. We are a specialist Cloud, Data, AI and Cybersecurity consultancy. We work with organizations where technology is no longer a function of the business. It is the business.
Independent by design. We deliver across every major platform.
Why PXB
Our philosophy is simple. We measure our success by yours, not by the size of the engagement.
The PXB Philosophy
Across nearly three decades of enterprise technology, we have watched the same pattern repeat. Strategies are bold, roadmaps are ambitious, and budgets are approved. Then, somewhere between the slide deck and the production estate, the outcome quietly evaporates. We exist to close that gap.
Put simply, P × X = B. The right platform, multiplied by the variable that defines your next stage of growth, equals a measurable business outcome. Everything we do serves that equation, and serves your long term success.
Platform (P)
We work across Azure, AWS, GCP, OCI, hybrid and on premises, with no allegiance to any single vendor. The right platform is the one that serves your business.
Your variable (X)
Every business has its own X. It is the unknown that, once solved, unlocks the next stage of what is possible. We find it, and we solve it.
Business outcome (B)
This is the result on your bottom line, the risk reduced, and the capability shipped. We hold ourselves to the outcome, not to the hours billed.
Senior by default
The people who scope your work are the people who do it. No pyramids of junior consultants billed against your roadmap.
What working with us actually means
The same principles guide every engagement, whatever your size, sector or stage.
We play the long game
We focus on your long term vision, not a quick sale. Our goal is your success measured over years, not the size of this quarter's invoice.
We are honest, always
We tell you what we genuinely think, even when it is not what you hoped to hear. If the right answer is to do less, or to wait, we will say so.
We challenge the brief
We do not simply take the order. We pressure test the assumptions, the architecture and the business case, so you invest only in what truly moves the metric.
We do not sell solutions
We are independent of every vendor, so the advice you get is the advice that fits you, never the product that pays us the most. We sell outcomes, not licenses.
The first assessment is free
We begin with a comprehensive assessment at no charge, then give you our best and honest opinion, staged to fit your budget and your priorities.
The best within your budget
We design a path in clear stages, each one delivering value within your constraints, so you see results early and never have to boil the ocean to get there.
Years of enterprise technology
Cloud platforms, one independent partner
Business days to a written point of view
Percent senior led delivery
Our Services
Five integrated disciplines, three engagement models. Advisory written points of view, hands-on build, or fully managed operations. The same senior people who design the architecture stay on to build it and, where you want it, run it under clear service levels. We have helped customers establish successful cloud environments, productionize AI, and stand up Security Operations from the first landing zone to enterprise scale.
Digital Transformation, end to end
Strategy that survives contact with the production estate.
The challenge
Most digital transformations fail in the gap between the slide deck and the production estate. Strategies are bold, roadmaps ambitious, budgets approved. Then somewhere between the design review and the first release, the outcome quietly evaporates. We exist to close that gap.
Our approach
We treat transformation as one problem across strategy, operating model, technology and people. The same senior consultants who set the architecture stay on to build it. Every initiative is tied to a measurable business metric and sequenced for early wins that fund the next phase.
What we deliver
- Discovery and value definition tied to a metric your CFO recognizes.
- Target operating model and ways of working, modernized alongside the platform.
- Vendor-neutral platform and tooling selection, no lock-in agenda.
- Phased roadmap with 90-day, 6-month and 12-month outcomes.
- Change management at the same pace as the architecture.
- Senior-led programme assurance for initiatives too important to drift.
- Custom executive dashboards so the outcome you were promised is the outcome you can see, every day.
How we engage
Cloud that serves the business, not the vendor
Independent by principle. We architect for your outcome across Azure, AWS, GCP, OCI, hybrid and on premises.
The challenge
Cloud done well unlocks economics, speed and resilience. Cloud done poorly produces a more expensive data center with a thousand new compliance findings. The pattern repeats: landing zones built ad hoc, identity sprawl across accounts and subscriptions, costs that surprise the CFO every quarter, and a security posture nobody can defend at audit.
Our approach
We look at the full picture from the first decision. The right platform serves your business, never a vendor relationship. We design landing zones for cost, resilience, security, governance, identity and operational ownership, and we sequence migration in waves so savings land early. Deep refactoring is reserved for the applications that justify it.
What we deliver
- Cloud Adoption Framework and enterprise-scale landing zones, designed for your scale and risk profile.
- Robust identity and access management: Entra ID, AWS IAM Identity Center, conditional access, PIM, just-in-time admin.
- Resource hierarchy and account organization with clean separation of duties, billing and blast radius.
- Security controls and guardrails: Azure Policy, AWS SCPs, GCP Organization Policies, OCI Compartments.
- Infrastructure as code, GitOps and automated deployment pipelines across every environment.
- FinOps discipline: visibility, rightsizing, commitment savings and a named owner per environment.
- Application migration and modernization across the six Rs: retire, retain, rehost, replatform, repurchase, refactor.
- Continuous monitoring, incident response and platform managed services under clear SLAs.
We have helped a number of customers establish successful cloud environments, from a first CAF landing zone through enterprise-scale managed operations. Your success is our metric.
How we engage
Data estates turned into decisions
Most organizations are rich in data and poor in answers. We close that distance.
The challenge
Data estates have grown faster than the disciplines around them. Reports disagree, lineage is unclear, governance is reactive, and self-service BI sits on foundations the business cannot trust. Meanwhile every initiative downstream, from customer experience to AI, depends on data that earns trust.
Our approach
Foundation first, then decisions. We unify fragmented sources into a platform built for analytics at scale, with governance, lineage and quality designed in from day one. Then we deliver self-service business intelligence and decision-ready analytics that reach the people who actually act.
What we deliver
- Modern data platform: lakehouse, warehouse, streaming, or a pragmatic mix.
- Data governance, lineage and quality designed in from day one, not retrofitted.
- Master and reference data treated as a product, with named ownership.
- Real-time pipelines where milliseconds matter, batch where they do not.
- Self-service business intelligence with the guardrails enterprises require.
- Decision-ready analytics that reach the right audience in the right format.
- AI and machine learning data foundation readiness, so what comes next does not start from zero.
- Managed DataOps for ongoing platform health, quality and cost.
How we engage
From a hundred pilots to production AI
AI strategy has produced a hundred pilots and very little in production. We change the ratio.
The challenge
Most organizations have not lacked ambition. They have lacked production discipline. AI also introduces an attack surface and a governance problem that did not exist two years ago: prompt injection, model and data leaks, agent-to-agent communication, agentic chains acting on their own authority, identity hygiene around the AI itself. Without an AI hub strategy, a hundred experiments scale into a hundred problems.
Our approach
We follow the industry's latest best practices and design AI for production from the first decision. We start with an AI Hub Landing Zone that centralizes governance, identity, monitoring and policy. Use cases are tied to a measurable business metric. Generative AI ships with the guardrails enterprises require: content filtering, Responsible AI policies, rate limiting, identity-controlled access to every model and dataset, evaluation and human oversight.
What we deliver
- AI Hub Landing Zone, centralized governance and shared services for every AI initiative.
- Use case selection tied to a measurable business metric, never to novelty.
- Machine learning and generative AI engineered for production from day one.
- Responsible AI policies embedded by design: fairness, transparency, accountability, human oversight.
- Content filtering with near real-time alerting on violations and blocked content.
- Visibility into AI workloads: token usage, model performance, cost and drift.
- All your AI identities monitored 24×7, with alerting when agents behave outside intended scope.
- Agentic AI architecture with safe agent-to-agent communication and explicit decision boundaries.
- MLOps lifecycle for evaluation, retraining and continuous improvement.
- AI-specific security: prompt injection defense, output validation, model and data isolation.
- Compliance and governance for AI-specific risk (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, internal RAI committees).
AI now presents challenges unlike anything two years ago. We help you adopt it with eyes open, not with hope.
How we engage
Secured for what comes next
Security as an architectural property, not a phase at the end.
The challenge
Identity is now the primary attack surface. Ransomware extracts the highest dollar value. Regulatory expectations expand every year. Many organizations have invested in tools without building the operating discipline to make them effective. The result is a defensible posture on paper that does not survive a real incident.
Our approach
We engineer security as an architectural property, designed in from the first decision, not bolted on after an audit or an incident. Zero trust foundations, identity as the control plane, and resilience treated as a property of how the platform runs, not as an emergency procedure.
What we deliver
- Zero trust foundations with identity as the control plane.
- Identity governance, PAM, conditional access and phishing-resistant MFA.
- Cloud Security Posture Management, CIEM and CWPP across every account.
- Centralized logging, SIEM and SOAR with detection engineering tuned to your context.
- Security Operations Center and Managed Detection and Response, 24×7.
- Threat intelligence, runbooks and incident response rehearsed before you need them.
- Vulnerability management with risk-prioritized SLAs.
- Data protection: encryption, key management, classification and data loss prevention.
- Compliance by design: NIST CSF, ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, FedRAMP, CMMC.
- Resilience and disaster recovery rehearsed across realistic scenarios, not assumed.
How we engage
Across every engagement
Advisory and Architecture
Strategy, target state architecture and delivery assurance, led by people with three decades of enterprise experience. Vendor-neutral. Every recommendation is one we would deliver ourselves, and we will say so when the right answer is to do less.
Tools and Custom Dashboards
Bespoke dashboards and internal tooling that make the metric visible at every level. Executives see the business outcome, owners see platform health, engineers see the system signal. We build on your platform, integrate the sources you already run, and hand the tooling over for you to own.
Managed Services
From a managed SOC and FinOps practice to day-to-day infrastructure operations and AI workload monitoring. Clear SLAs, senior engineers on call, and a single accountable team. The estate we build is an estate we are happy to run.
Strategy Pulse
Every meaningful engagement begins with discovery, and discovery begins with the same questions: where you stand today, what sits in your estate, what is keeping you up at night. Those questions matter, but the first pass through them rarely needs a meeting. You could answer them in an email or a form, and most consultancies will send you one. We chose to do it better. Strategy Pulse uses automation and AI to walk you through a structured starter assessment, shaped by nearly three decades of patterns, regulatory regimes and operating best practice across cloud, data, AI and cybersecurity. Pick the area that matters most right now, answer a handful of focused questions, and you receive a written point of view on where you stand and where to focus next. It is a starting point rather than a finished plan, but it is a solid one: if a follow-up is right, both sides walk in with context, the discovery hour is already behind us, and the conversation goes straight to the decisions that actually move your year.
This is also how we communicate. We assume your week is already full, and we ask for a meeting only when something at stake genuinely warrants one. We will not turn up to introduce ourselves, hand you a deck, and promise to walk beside you through every milestone. Every vendor delivers that line, and the engagements that follow rarely live up to it. We work differently. We know the value we bring, we know what an hour of your calendar is worth, and we reserve the invite for the moments where alignment, senior judgement or a real decision require being in the room together. Everything else is delivered the way it should be: in writing, on time, and ready for you to act on.

Frequently Asked Questions
These are the questions enterprise leaders actually bring to the table. They cover platform choice, migration, modernization, security operations and what we run for you afterwards.
01. Which cloud platform should we standardize on: Azure, AWS, Google Cloud or OCI?
There is no universally best hyperscaler. There is only the best fit for your workloads, your existing estate, your talent and your commercials.
We assess against your application portfolio, data gravity, regulatory footprint, current licensing, such as an existing Microsoft Enterprise Agreement, and the skills your teams already hold. The recommendation is driven by your business case, never by a partnership tier we carry. Often the honest answer is a primary platform with a few deliberate exceptions, rather than a commitment to a single logo.
02. Should we go with a single cloud, or pursue a multicloud or hybrid strategy?
Multicloud is a means, not a goal. Organizations adopt it for three good reasons.
- Resilience: no single provider becomes a single point of failure.
- Freedom from lock in: commercial leverage stays with you.
- Best tool for the job: the right service for each workload.
They also adopt it for one bad reason. It arrives by accident, through acquisitions and shadow IT. We help you decide deliberately. We show where a single platform reduces cost and complexity, where multicloud at the workload level genuinely lowers risk, and how to run one consistent landing zone, identity, network and governance layer across everything, so multicloud does not become many separate problems.
03. What is the right migration approach for our applications?
Enterprises usually frame this as the six Rs, and the skill is matching each application to the right one.
- Retire: switch off what is no longer used.
- Retain: keep what should not move yet.
- Rehost: lift and shift for speed and a data center exit, though it carries your technical debt with it.
- Replatform: capture managed service value, such as databases and containers, at moderate effort.
- Repurchase: swap a custom application for a SaaS product where that makes sense.
- Refactor: rebuild for true cloud native economics, which costs the most.
We assess your whole portfolio, sequence by business value and risk, and migrate in waves. Savings land early, and deep refactoring is reserved for the applications that justify it.
04. How do we modernize legacy applications without disrupting the business?
We modernize in increments, not in one large rewrite. We use patterns such as the strangler fig, where we stand up new services alongside the legacy system and redirect traffic one capability at a time. The business keeps running while the estate evolves.
Each wave ships a working outcome, reduces the risk of the next, and gives stakeholders something measurable. Modernization then survives the budget cycle, instead of becoming a project that runs for years with little to show.
05. How do you run a digital transformation that delivers, not just a roadmap?
Transformations fail in the gap between the slide deck and the production estate. We close it in three ways.
- Outcomes first: every initiative is tied to a measurable business result.
- Early wins: we sequence the work so quick results fund the next phase.
- Senior delivery: the people who set the architecture also build it.
Technology is only one axis. We work the operating model, the data and the skills in parallel, because a platform that nobody adopts is not a transformation.
06. Do you provide a Security Operations Center and managed detection and response?
Yes. We provide monitoring, detection and response around the clock, either as your own Security Operations Center, or managed jointly with your team. It is built on a modern SIEM and SOAR stack, with threat intelligence and clear runbooks.
We also engineer the posture that reduces what reaches the centre in the first place. That means identity, zero trust and resilience designed into the architecture, with incident response and recovery rehearsed before you need them.
07. Do you offer ongoing managed services, or only project delivery?
Both. Many clients keep us on to run and continuously improve the cloud platform, data estate, AI services or security operations that we built, under clear service level agreements and a transparent cost model.
We size the managed footprint to what genuinely benefits from our hands on the system, and we structure it so you can take it in house whenever you choose. We do not engineer dependency.
08. Our cloud bill is out of control. How do you get cost under control?
Runaway cloud spend is almost always a problem of architecture and accountability, not a problem of discounts. We establish FinOps discipline across three levers.
- Visibility: cost is shown back to the teams that incur it.
- Efficiency: rightsizing, plus savings from reserved capacity and savings plans.
- Architecture: autoscaling, serverless and storage tiering that bend the cost curve.
Cost then becomes a designed property of the platform, with a named owner, rather than a quarterly surprise.
09. How do we adopt AI safely, and move from pilots to production?
For many organizations, AI strategy has produced a hundred pilots and very little in production. We change the ratio. We select use cases that are tied to a real metric, we get the data foundation and governance right first, and we build machine learning and generative AI for production.
That production standard includes the guardrails enterprises require. Among them are security, privacy, evaluation, human oversight and an MLOps lifecycle, so models keep earning their keep long after launch.
10. How do you handle compliance, data residency and sovereignty?
We design to your regulatory reality from the first decision. That includes GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001 and regional data sovereignty rules. We use the controls, regions and isolation models that keep you compliant by design, rather than by remediation later.
Governance, lineage and auditability are built in, so the evidence a regulator asks for is produced by how the platform runs, not assembled in a fire drill.
11. How do we ensure resilience, disaster recovery and business continuity?
We design to your recovery time and recovery point objectives, not to a generic template. That means architectures across multiple availability zones, and across multiple regions where it is justified, with automated backup and failover.
Recovery is genuinely rehearsed, rather than assumed. Resilience is treated as an architectural property, so the first time you exercise your recovery plan is not during a real incident.
12. How do you make sure we are not locked into you?
Independence runs both ways. We staff senior, we work alongside your teams, we document as we go, and we transfer knowledge deliberately, so your people are more capable when we leave.
The platform is built on open, standard foundations that you own, and any managed services are structured so you can bring them in house whenever you choose. We earn the next phase on results, never on dependency.
