Q&A with Auxilion CEO Philip Maguire
What lies behind Auxilion’s headcount growth?
We’ve invested heavily in our managed services capabilities specifically when it comes to AI and automation. This has opened the door to new managed service engagements and, ultimately, increased our headcount requirement in our service operation centre in Sheffield.
What do you see as your biggest growth opportunity for the next 12 months?
We expect our managed services offering will drive a large percentage of our growth. However, we also see a considerable amount of appetite for our consulting practice. Organisations are continuing to invest in digital transformation strategies, and trying to understand how to build in the future of AI and automation into existing strategies. With any change programme, the biggest failure is poor project management and governance (or lack thereof). We’re seeing huge demand for our governance services.
What’s a strange or interesting fact about Auxilion most people won’t know?
Our name Auxilion was decided by combining the following: ‘Auxil’ means help in latin and ‘on’ for always on 24/7 (also lion meaning strength and leader).
