When technology simply has to work.

Some consultancies work for you. We work with you – combining AI, cyber and real delivery experience to solve complex problems properly. We deliver integrator grade outcomes at a fraction of the price.

With AI, we practise what we preach.

We build it, we trust it, we use it.

AI isn’t a buzzword for us. It’s the engine of our work.

We don’t just advise organisations on AI adoption from the sidelines. We design, build and use these tools in our own business every day. We build it, we trust it and we use it.

That experience shapes everything we deliver. Our teams combine decades of transformation and security expertise with practical AI capability to turn complex challenges into fast, effective solutions. We run AI opportunity assessments for organisations that want to move fast and get it right – mapping where AI will have the greatest business impact.

Ask C86 offers a glimpse of what that looks like in practice. Try it and see how AI can help transform your technology and cyber environments.

With AI, we see what others don’t.

We cut through complexity to see what really matters.

Our teams have spent 25 years working inside complex environments where technology simply has to work.

When a Critical National Infrastructure provider needs to predict service disruptions before they happen, or a financial institution needs to defend its operation from an evolving cyber threat in real time – pattern recognition at that speed requires AI embedded into operations, not bolted on afterwards. That is the difference between advising on AI and delivering AI.

We look beyond surface-level use cases to understand how systems really function – from architecture and data to governance and security. Our experience means our team reaches clearer decisions and creates better solutions that stand up in the real world.

With AI, we do what others can’t.

We don't stop at strategy – we deliver, properly.

Large system integrators bring scale, and layers. By the time your requirements reach the delivery team, something has been lost. Boutique firms bring focus, but rarely the breadth to hold a complex programme together end to end. C86 is built for the space between: senior led, directly accountable and experienced to know where programmes fail, before they do. We focus on the areas where we know we can make the biggest difference. We don't stop at strategy: you get the attention of a specialist and the capability of a firm that has delivered at enterprise and government scale.

Big consultancy expertise without the bureaucracy; integrator delivery capability without the juniorisation; boutique flexibility without the risk.

Our teams understand the operational complexity behind essential services – environments running under constant pressure and uncompromising expectations. We help organisations deliver when the stakes are highest – even when the end user never sees the systems behind it, we create massive impact, every day.

With AI, we deliver where others fail.

Foolproof execution led by experience.

Execution is where most transformation programmes break down.

Every solution we design runs through our proven IDEAL methodology – robust enough to solve any challenge, at any stage. Our model combines advisory expertise with hands-on delivery, led by an experienced team that stays close to the work. That means decisions are made faster, problems are solved earlier and programmes keep moving.

The result is a smooth journey that ends in pragmatic delivery of resilient technology that simply works.

We build solutions that are proven at scale and have immediate impact. If you can’t afford to fail, let’s talk about how we can help you when your technology simply has to work.
