Why IDG

System integrators win the work. Delivery is a different problem.

White space in your resourcing plan is the headache we solve.

The gap between a signed contract and a successful go-live is where reputations are made or lost. Resource shortages, capability gaps, and client pressure don't pause for internal recruitment cycles.

IDG was built for that gap. We embed experienced delivery professionals, programme managers, project managers, solution architects, SMEs and technical leads directly into your engagements. We work to your standards, under your brand as a white-labelled service, meeting your client's expectations.

You look good. Your client gets results. That's the only outcome we're interested in.

We don't supply CVs and step back. When you bring us a requirement, we source, interview, and shortlist. For each role you receive two bios and you make the selection. For senior positions where you want to meet the candidate, we manage that process too. The agency calls, the wasted interviews, the contract market friction: those are ours to handle, not yours.

About IDG

Built since 2008.
Rebuilt for what's next.

The Story

Where IDG comes from

Neil Parker founded a professional IT services business in 2008, built on a straightforward premise: that large IT projects succeed or fail on the quality of the people delivering them, not the quality of the pitch that sold them. When Sue Arnold joined as co-founder in 2011, the business was renamed Inspire Corporation, and Sue's marketing and business development expertise helped shape its growth and market positioning.

The two partners married in 2014. Over nine years, Inspire Corporation grew into a respected professional services business, partnering with major system integrators to deliver complex IT programmes across corporate and mid-market accounts. In 2017, Neil and Sue sold the business, due to Sue's ill health, and Neil has since led a number of technology ventures in Data, AI, Cloud and ESG/Sustainability.

Inspire Delivery Group is what comes next. The same issues that existed in 2011 exist today: delivering programmes and projects at scale is hard, SIs need agility, and partners like IDG exist to get it right first time and take the friction out of the process.

The name carries the same DNA. The upside-down "i", the signature mark that defined the original Inspire brand, is back. The principle hasn't changed: delivery is where the work actually happens.

What has changed is the landscape. AI is moving from proof-of-concept to production deployment. Large language model implementations are becoming live, client-facing programmes. System integrators are winning this work, and the delivery capability required to execute it is scarce.

IDG was built to fill exactly that gap.

Professional working in a corporate technology environment
What Makes IDG Different
Most delivery partners supply bodies. IDG supplies outcomes.

The original Inspire model was built on a straightforward observation: system integrators didn't just need people, they needed them fast, without the overhead of running a resourcing process on top of a live engagement. So IDG took that process on entirely.

When you bring us a requirement, we source, interview, and shortlist. For each role, you receive two bios and you make the selection. For senior positions where you want to meet the candidate, we manage that too. The agency calls, the wasted interviews, the contract market friction: those are ours to handle, not yours.

Last week, a senior director at one of Inspire Corporation's original clients told Neil the same problems still exist: capability gaps, resource shortfalls, the pressure of a signed contract with no one to deliver it. Nothing has changed except the type of work. IDG was rebuilt to solve exactly that.

Senior from day one

Every professional we place has done this before, under real pressure, for real clients. We don't ramp up in the background.

Under your brand

We work as an extension of your team. Your client sees your brand. You get our delivery. No confusion, no separate workstream.

Accountable throughout

Neil Parker is contactable throughout every engagement. If something is going wrong, you hear it from us first, not from your client.

Services

What IDG delivers.

Four capability areas. One standard of delivery. Right first time.

IT Delivery

IT Project and Programme Delivery

The problem

You have the relationship and the contract. You don't have the senior delivery resource available right now.

  • Programme directors and senior programme managers
  • Project managers across waterfall, agile, and hybrid methodologies
  • PMO setup and management
  • Delivery assurance and independent review
  • Escalation management and recovery for at-risk programmes
Who this is for: System integrators who need to supplement their delivery bench on time-critical engagements without the overhead of permanent recruitment, and without exposure to the challenges of the contract market. IDG removes the risk and friction of this process.

Data engineering and analytics platform
Data Engineering

Data Engineering

The problem

Your clients need data platforms, pipelines, and migration programmes delivered to spec. The engineers exist. Senior delivery professionals who understand both the technical complexity and the client relationship are harder to find.

  • Programme and project management for data platform builds, migrations, and modernisation
  • Delivery oversight for cloud data engineering on AWS, Azure, and GCP
  • Coordination between data engineering teams, business stakeholders, and vendors
  • Governance and quality assurance across data migration and integration projects
  • Recovery and stabilisation for data programmes behind schedule or off track
Who this is for: System integrators delivering data platform, analytics, or migration engagements where senior delivery resource is needed quickly, without the risk and friction of the contract market.
Agentic AI

Agentic AI and Copilot Delivery

The problem

Your clients are asking for AI. You've won the work. Now you need people who have actually delivered it before, not people who will figure it out on the job.

  • Programme and project management for Claude, Copilot, and LLM implementations
  • Solution architecture and technical delivery oversight
  • Delivery of AI-ready clean data pipelines
  • Business change and adoption management, with a focus on augmenting the workforce rather than replacing it
  • Vendor and partner coordination (Anthropic, Microsoft, cloud providers, ISVs)
  • Governance, risk, and assurance for AI programmes
  • Ethical AI use embedded throughout delivery
Who this is for: System integrators delivering AI-powered applications, workflow automation, and intelligent document processing for their clients.
AI and enterprise technology delivery
Cloud infrastructure and data centre operations
Cloud Infrastructure

Cloud Infrastructure

The problem

Your clients have committed to cloud. The migration roadmap is agreed and the budget is approved. What is missing is the delivery depth to execute infrastructure transformation without disrupting live services or slipping the programme timeline.

  • Programme and project management for cloud infrastructure transformation
  • Delivery oversight for application migration, re-platforming, and cloud-native builds
  • Infrastructure delivery for agentic AI deployments on AWS, Azure, and GCP
  • Coordination between cloud engineering teams, business stakeholders, and vendors
  • Governance, assurance, and reporting across complex multi-workload migrations
  • Recovery and stabilisation for cloud programmes behind schedule or off track
Who this is for: System integrators delivering cloud transformation programmes, application migrations, and the infrastructure foundations for AI at scale.
UK Government SME Programme

Well positioned for the public sector opportunity

The UK government has committed to spending more than £7.4 billion a year with SMEs by 2028, with the Procurement Act 2023 requiring public sector bodies to actively consider SMEs across all contracts.

For system integrators working on public sector programmes, this creates both an obligation and an opportunity. Procurement frameworks increasingly require demonstrable SME participation at the delivery layer. IDG sits in exactly that position: a specialist delivery partner with the capability of a large firm and the classification of an SME.

Your client meets their procurement obligations. You get the delivery quality you need. No compromise on either side.
