Our take

Businesses everywhere are feeling the pressure to make AI work in the real world. While the ambition is there, many organisations are held back by outdated systems, poor data, rising cloud costs and security concerns. It's a bit like trying to build a house on shaky foundations, without the basics in place, it's hard to make lasting progress.

Scale Factory helps businesses build those foundations, working across quality engineering, cloud, data, AI automation and technology training, it helps organisations move from testing AI to using it with confidence. Its focus is on creating secure, reliable technology that is built to last.

Scale Factory was created through a merger of Ten10 Solutions and The Scale Factory, combining expertise in quality engineer, cloud and AI under one brand. The merger gives clients access to a wider range of skills while keeping the trusted teams and delivery standards they already know. And as demand for practical AI solutions grows, the business is in a good spot for long-term success.
