Our take
Digital transformation continues to be a pain point for many businesses looking to keep up with advancements in tech and the consumer pivot towards online services. The shortage of tech talent hasn’t helped, either. So we’re seeing a wealth of digital consultancies and agencies crop up, like Nuvalence, to help businesses keep pace.
Nuvalence specializes in the commercial development of digital platforms and products, including design, engineering, and API, carried out by engineers, product managers, and designers. Nuvalence also helps businesses cater to two new business imperatives: being data-led, and operating on the cloud. These are both costly switches to make, with spend often overrunning substantially - so Nuvalence, along with competitors including industry giants Oliver Wyman and IBM, are catering to a valuable new market.
This kind of competition is fierce, however, and can freeze out startups that struggle to match the pace of these deeper pocketed enterprises. There are reports that this is what led to the collapse of the Nuvalence team’s previous venture, Apprenda. With this tough lesson under its belt, the hope will be that Nuvalence can dodge the same pitfall. Since its partnership with Google Cloud was extended in 2023, it seems that Nuvalence is on the right path toward a more optimistic future.
