IEG4Managing Director

Jan. 2005 - Jun. 2023Alderley Edge , United KingdomStarted IEG4 with the acquisition of a small local government electronic forms division from a software supplier to utilities. Which bought 3 staff, 5 customers and IP written in C# on the Microsoft platform. Today the company has over 30 staff and over 50 customers. Implemented a product strategy, rather than tailored bespoke solutions for each council, principal initial go to market strategy was through partners, notably being Capita and Civica. With IEG4 forms being citizen self service forms for interfacing to their Revenues and Benefits systems. Subsequently became an early adopter of Microsoft’s Azure service to move our clients to Cloud computing thus removing the dependence on council servers and ICT staff. Cloud enabled IEG4 to implement SaaS with pricing suited to the market ie council size, rather than being user based. Being true product , albiet highly configurable, meant SaaS pricing includes implementation, and certainty for council budgets, rather than software price and a moving implementation cost. Won Microsoft World Wide Public Sector Partner of the year award in 2012. Worked with senior management team developing a partial exit strategy, which after 2-3 years led to LDC becoming an investor in IEG4 in November 2021. The process took over 9 months, starting with the inevitable beauty parade for corporate advisors, won by Grant Thornton, through information memorandum preparation , many presentations and demonstrations, with over 40 interested parties.
