Research & Development

Custom research, design and development of process automation solutions for the virtual or physical world:

Expert systems, natural language processing, speech recognition, and machine vision – artificial intelligence

Sensors, switches, and actuators on physical world devices connected via the Internet – Internet of Things

Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things brings new opportunities to automate business processes, but is opaque and impenetrable to the business leader

That’s where we can help.

We have a multidisciplinary approach to creating innovative solutions to real-world business problems.

We break each problem down into challenges, solving each challenge with the most appropriate technologies.

We combine knowledge with research and development to build proofs of concept and prototypes.

We apply agile project management techniques to keep you in control of costs and milestones.

You start with an idea. That idea sparks questions...

  • Can we?

    We help you explore the world of the possible.

  • Should we?

    We help you deliver value from the investment.

  • How?

    We steer you through the technology maze.

  • Cost?

    We help you keep control of costs.

Our case studies

To better understand what JFDI can do to help with your next R&D project, read one of our case studies. You’ll learn about the R&D process and how we can turn a simple question of possibility into a whole world of new opportunities.

  • Smarter Smart Metering

    Our client Southern Water is a leading UK utility company. Faced with a massive infrastructure investment, they came to JFDI to answer key questions: could they do smart metering without the infrastructure, and could they incentivise consumers to make usage savings too?

  • The birth of Transaction Manager for Private Equity

    This case study chronicles the Transaction Manager’s development journey, which began in response to a client’s requirement for a Proof of Concept (PoC) to manage investment structures and ensure regulatory compliance.

  • Technical Due Diligence

    Our client is a medium sized corporate in the financial services industry. A Big Four consultancy had conducted a development project that had gone off the rails. JFDI was called in to provide independent expert evaluation of just how bad the damage was, and what it would take to put it right.
