CROZ

Strategy and service design for complex organisations

CROZ calls itself a BizTech company, bringing together business strategy, service design and engineering. Its stated purpose is to help organisations cope with complicated environments: an older monolithic system that holds back growth, many data sources that need joining up, cloud-native products under construction and a culture that has to change alongside the technology. The company's strategy work is built around business transformation that makes an organisation more agile, resilient and competitive.

Software, data and AI engineering

The engineering practice builds scalable products and data-driven systems, and it designs the tech stack, architecture and infrastructure that have to last. Its work includes AI-powered solutions and integration platforms. Case studies on its site cover a generative AI programme for a bank that was run through a hackathon, machine learning for fraud detection at a payments business, and real-time event streaming for a large banking group.

Cloud-native migration, DevOps and mainframe modernisation

Several parts of CROZ's work address older systems. The firm describes bringing mission-critical systems back from the brink, taming heterogeneous systems with major integration platforms, and drawing data streams out of dense monoliths. The site's case studies also include mainframe modernisation for a major bank in Asia, a cloud onboarding project on AWS aimed at a faster and cheaper start, and faster deployments through DevOps for a public institution and a bank.

Operations and managed services

The operations side, the company says, streamlines a client's day-to-day running so that innovation and agility can grow, and it aims to cut complexity until the remaining systems are automated, integrated and logical. Case studies name emissions reduction at a car manufacturer through a data-driven approach, and manufacturing traceability improved with IBM tooling for a global electronics business.

Track record across finance, the public sector and telecoms

The company claims a portfolio of more than 1000 engagements spread over more than fifteen countries, working both as partner and as contractor in fields with large data volumes and high security needs. Those fields are finance, the public sector and telecommunications. It also runs a community of its own, including an annual BizTech conference on the Mediterranean coast, a monthly podcast with industry figures and a stream of stories and tech news.
