Our company


Iphelion was founded in 2006 by Andy Driskell and his business partner Simon Ashby-Crowe. The idea was to deliver a fresh approach to solving business problems by providing a range of both in-house and third party products that worked seamlessly with one another, as well as offering a new style of collaborative consultancy to clients.

We have always been, and intend to remain a vendor independent company working with many leading technologies and playing to their strengths rather than aligning with one and shoehorning a poor solution around it.

Iphelion was established around the following values...

We strive to be..

  • Approachable
    While we work in a highly technical profession, we appreciate that not everyone needs to be as enthusiastic about it as we are, so we strive to use plain English and clear communications with our clients. Don't be afraid to simply email us if we can help you understand a technical issue, our doors are always open.
  • Professional
    Rather than fill this section in, we invite you to review our testimonials and/or contact our clients and simply ask them, there is no better way to judge a company's performance than to talk directly to their customers.
  • Enthusiastic
    Most of our staff don't just do what they do for a day job, most have deep rooted interest in the latest technologies and trends, contribute to online communities and have self motivation to keep ahead of the curve in all things IT. A team without passion is no good to anyone, regardless of their discipline.

 

  • Honest
    We are firm believers in being honest, if we don't know how to deliver something, we will tell you, rather than fly by the seat of our pants and get it wrong. We will even put you in touch with other companies, if we feel that they can help you with your particular issue.
  • Collaborative
    Every project we undertake, we do so in a collaborative manner. We do not think of a project as simply a task for us to achieve and hand back, we would rather work with your staff and to get them more involved in what we are doing so that when handover day looms, nobody is left in the dark.
  • Inventive
    Working in environments that mix so many technologies sometimes requires a little creative thinking to get to the solution. Our staff have worked with huge ranges of technologies in most aspects of IT and draw upon this knowledge to deliver the best solutions to your problems.
