As digital partner, Amdaris will help accelerate the delivery of Sun Strategy’s sustainable and efficiency-driven technology solutions.

Sun Strategy is a packaging consultancy that works with brands to deliver innovative, sustainable, and measurable solutions for leading global clients, including some of the world’s largest online and offline retailers. Sustainability has significantly moved up on the consumer agenda in recent years, with Gen Z customers favouring environmentally-friendly brands and packaging. This new partnership with Amdaris will advance the services of Sun Strategy to meet the influx of sustainability-conscious customers.

Amdaris will work closely with the team at Sun Strategy to amplify and enhance the technology element of Sun Strategy’s solutions.

Amdaris will also take an active role in delivering Sun Strategy’s technology ecosystem and integrated automation solutions.

“We have seen a huge influx of clients asking for new branding software solutions since the pandemic. However, the market for developers is extremely competitive, so it’s challenging to recruit enough employees on a long-term basis in order to keep up with the growing customer demand,” commented Robert Quigley, Technical Director at Sun Strategy. “We were not just looking for a provider but a long-term partner. We selected Amdaris due to the company’s excellent industry reputation and experience in agile processes. This long-term partnership with Amdaris will help us meet our objectives and scale up when consumer demands require us to. It’s strategically very important to us.”

Andy Rogers, co-CEO of Amdaris, commented, “Sustainability is one of Amdaris’ key company values so we see a lot of synergies between us and Sun Strategy. We are excited to partner with Sun Strategy and help scale the company’s sustainability technology solutions. We look forward to helping the company take its solutions out to a wider market faster, through our agile approach to software development.”

“Unprecedented shifts in retail trends – such as the exponential rise of e-commerce and omnichannel, changing consumer behaviour, and growing supply chain complexity – have left many of our clients reeling. At Sun Strategy we have been busy developing original technology to offer solutions that help our clients not only survive but go on to thrive. We are looking forward to partnering with Amdaris to help achieve this at a greater scale,” commented Greg Lawson, Group Commercial Director of Sun Strategy.

Organisations look to outsourcing again post-pandemic

Access to talent and cost savings key drivers to outsourcing revival

Bristol, UK; 10 May 2022: In a recent survey of 300 IT leaders, over half of business leaders are outsourcing to gain access to talent and save on costs.

The survey, conducted by Amdaris, the Bristol-based software development specialist, found that 64% are adopting a new outsourcing strategy in light of the pandemic. With 63% finding it difficult to find and hire strong talent, access to talent was a strong reason for deciding to outsource (54%). This was followed by the imperative to save on costs (54%), access to knowledge and experience (41%) and project support (33%).

Moreover, 74% of organisations believe that outsourcing can help to improve or adopt better software development practices such as agile delivery and quality auditing.

“With the majority of budgets for IT leaders going on tech and talent, it would seem that post-pandemic outsourcing has come into its own as a solution for the top challenges we face today,” said Vlad Nanu, Co-CEO at Amdaris. “Organisations not only face the major challenge of being able to find tech talent, but also improving its digital skills and development velocity. The best technical skills often lie in markets outside of the UK such as Eastern Europe, well known as a tech hub. Continuing the support for that region is particularly key at this time.”

Amdaris assists global companies through expert outsourcing, which provides a wider talent pool and access to multiple stakeholders. This can help dilute the potential risk of losing talent due to unforeseen circumstances. Furthermore, by having multiple centres across Europe, Amdaris is able to quickly mitigate potential risks and assist employees affected by global events.

To support Ukraine, the company relocated its Ukrainian employees from its Odesa facility to centres in neighbouring countries. Amdaris is also providing ongoing support to staff and their families who have been affected by the war through daily check-ins and pastoral care. Amdaris has pledged to help the wider Ukrainian tech community by providing secure employment to any tech professional being forced to flee the country due to the ongoing conflict.
