“We’re delighted to have been appointed by such a prestigious client. We’re under no illusion of the standards expected of us in supporting the custodians of global project management methodology, PRINCE2,” said Sputnik Digital managing director Andy Nicol. 

Following a thorough review of the market, Axelos chose Sputnik Digital because of the agency’s proven track record in delivering projects on-time and on-budget, with strong data protection and GDPR compliance and Sputnik’s commitment to technical best practice.

Sputnik has delivered innovative websites, digital products and applications for enterprise clients including GoCompare.com, Swinton Insurance, Fluent Money and Acino Pharma. Typical projects range from the development of best-in-class websites, dashboards, inventory management systems, mobile apps and customer portals.

“We chose Sputnik as our digital partner because of their focus on pixel perfect designs, technical quality and above all their deep understanding of the Axelos vision. They perfectly augment our team and have helped drive forward our ambitions,” said Jonathan Archibald, CTO, Axelos.

Set up in 2014 as a joint venture between the UK Government and outsourcing giant Capita, Axelos was acquired by examination institute PeopleCert in a £380 million deal in July 2021.
