Kerv Digital 2023 Wrap-Up

Published 29/12/23

2023 was a whirlwind year.  As ambassadors of digital excellence, we want to help everyone along in their digital transformation journey and over the last ten months we’ve left our mark all over.  Whether it be hackathons, awards ceremonies or conferences, we were there.  Similarly, we also had our own internal celebrations.  We were not just present but actively involved, lending our expertise and collaborative spirit to all corners of the globe. As we reflect on the year gone by, the threads of our global journey weave a tapestry of innovation, collaboration, and a relentless dedication to propelling businesses into the digital future.

Growing The Future

As ever, hackathons were a key feature of how we get people together to encourage innovation.  From the Power Platform Hackathon at the Microsoft Experience Centre to the ECT Hackathon in Nottingham later on in the year, we were able to demonstrate the power of technology and get people together to solve some real-world challenges. These kinds of activities further demonstrated just how much we believe in a collaborative spirit and commitment to fostering innovation at the local level.

Reaching Out

Similarly, running various webinars throughout the year allows us to reach an even wider range of people.  The Children’s 1st Webinar, allowed us to showcase how we were able to revolutionise its data management approach to empower its work with families. We were also able to run webinars in India that helped expand Power Platform knowledge and give the keys to a potential future in tech.

Getting Together

The SNT in March was as ever one of the biggest events of the year.  We discussed our successes and targets to push ever onward, with both teams in the UK and India being recognised for their contributions.  Similarly, Stay Ahead 2023 upped the ante in terms of bringing us all together with the wider Kerv Group.  Being able to gather in such a way and hammer home our successes both individually and collectively in turn inspires the next wave of success as we push forward.

Dazzling Demonstrations

On a smaller scale but no less important, being able to showcase demonstrations of the technology we know can benefit our customers is a great way to not only get together in a networking sense but to actually get them to see what we’re talking about.  These types of  demonstrations are at the heart of connecting people to the technology and we are keen to continue to showcase what Microsoft can do in this way.

Engaging All Over

From one corner of the world to the other, the Ingram Micro Event in Las Vegas and NetHope conference in Germany, underlined our desire to contribute to the discourse regarding digital transformation on a global scale. These events provide a platform for networking, a healthy knowledge exchange and understanding as the technology continues to evolve.

Local Landings

While taking our talents over land and sea, we’re still looking to make a difference close to home as well.  At Digitech 2023 (Digital First) and Highways UK, we took our place among those in attendance to discuss key digital strategies across different sectors throughout the UK.  What’s more, being present at the pWc tech breakfasts for all of Birmingham Tech Week meant that we were at the heart of the tech issues of today.  Our participation means we can continue our mission of using technology to make a tangible impact in the areas that matter.

An Abundance of Awards

We were no stranger to ceremonies this year, with several nominations for us collectively and individually throughout 2023.  One of the highlights of this was surely being announced as Agency/Supplier of the Year at the Memcom Awards.  While we are committed to let our work speak for itself, being able to get this kind of recognition is very special indeed.

Highlights On The High Seas

No yearly review could be complete without mentioning the South Coast Summit.  It was a swashbuckling adventure that saw Kerv Digital donning its finest pirate attire and setting sail into uncharted waters of innovation. Our crew transformed the summit into a digital treasure trove, and it became a rendezvous of tech buccaneers.  With temporary tattoos, pirate themed souvenirs and games to be played, our voyage left a lasting impression, reminding all that in the vast digital ocean, Kerv Digital sails with the wind at its back, ready to conquer new horizons.

Party Time

Last and no means least, there were the celebrations.  The people getting together and being able to enjoy themselves for all the hard work they’ve done.  From Annual Day or Diwali to the spooktacular Halloween party that saw computers switched off and costumes put on.  These moments make Kerv Digital not just a workplace but a home. As we go forward, the memories forged over these occasions will be what we take with us, ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead.

As 2023 draws to a close, Kerv Digital‘s diverse and impactful engagements throughout the year affirm its position as a leading force in the digital transformation landscape. We are so very much looking forward to continuing our journey of innovation, collaboration, and positive impact in the coming year.
