Consultancy
Digital transformation consultancy for UK businesses, one process at a time
Start with the spreadsheet, paper form or old system that costs you most. Fix it in phases, then decide what comes next.
In short
Digital transformation means replacing manual work and ageing systems with better software, so a business runs with less re-keying and fewer workarounds. APPS 365, a UK software company, approaches this one process at a time. Focused projects start from around £750, with larger programmes quoted after discovery and a written fixed quote before work starts.
Where to start when everything feels old
You rarely need a grand programme. You need to fix what is costing you most, without stopping the business.
Spreadsheets, paper and email approvals eat up the week.
We map the process, pick the biggest time sink and pilot a replacement with the people doing the work.
An old system runs the business and nobody dares touch it.
We work in phases, running old and new side by side where needed, and switch over when it is safe.
A past IT project failed, so trust is low.
Small scopes, a written fixed quote and a review after each phase let you stop, change course or carry on.
What you get
A plain roadmap
A short list of what to fix, in what order and why, written so the whole business can read it.
Phases, not a big bang
Each change is small enough to test on its own, so day-to-day work keeps moving.
The right tool for each job
We use the simplest option that works, and will tell you if you already own what you need.
People brought along
Staff help shape the change and get training and plain guidance, because resistance usually starts with being left out.
What a first project usually covers
Your written quote sets the scope. A first project often includes:
- A process review with the people who do the work
- A short written roadmap with priorities
- A pilot of the first change
- Training and guidance for staff
- A review against measures agreed at the start, such as hours spent or errors caught
Microsoft 365, Power Platform or custom build?
Each has a place, and we will tell you which fits.
| Option | Fits when |
|---|---|
| Microsoft 365 and SharePoint | The work is documents, lists, intranet pages and simple approvals |
| Power Platform | You need internal forms, apps or flows on your Microsoft 365 data |
| Custom software | The work is unique to you, public-facing or beyond what low-code can do |

Digital Transformation on apps365.digitalFrequently asked questions
What is digital transformation for an SME?
For a smaller business, it means replacing the manual steps and old systems holding you back with better software, one process at a time. It does not have to be a large programme.
Where do I start with digital transformation?
Start with the process that wastes the most time or causes the most errors. Map how it really works, agree how you will measure it, and pilot a fix with the people who do the job.
How do I modernise legacy software without downtime?
Work in phases and keep the old system running while the new one is tested. Move one function or group of users at a time, with a way back at each step. Some risk always remains, so plan each switch-over with your team.
How much does legacy modernisation cost?
It depends on the size of the system. A focused project starts from around £750, while replacing a core system is usually a larger programme, quoted after discovery. You get a written fixed quote first.
How do we avoid vendor lock-in?
Settle it before you start. Code ownership, hosting location and data residency are agreed in writing in your quote. Using standard tools such as Microsoft 365 where they fit also keeps more of your data in systems you control.
