Crossing the Hurdles
As founders, Mark, Rick and Steve wanted to own, run and be part of a company that focused on business outcomes for their customers rather than consultant utilization for them. They decided that building long term; trust based partnerships with customers would be good for their company’s growth and for their customers businesses.
They agreed that they would only ever take on projects that they could deliver and wouldn’t chase things they couldn’t do. They decided it was important to surround themselves with likeminded, highly skilled people not just technical experts and finally and most importantly, they agreed that their customers should be the focus of everything they do. They have done quite well so far and are proud to stand with the team they have built and the customers they work with.
Strategy that Keeps M-Power Unique
After a detailed review of their business, customers’ requirements and the infrastructure revolution, the Cloud was enabling and they decided to make a strategic decision to move their focus from traditional on premise Oracle solutions to delivering Oracle Cloud Services. Many consultancy firms providing Business Intelligence and Planning and Budgeting solutions continue to look backwards towards the “old” world where they install, manage and upgrade traditional on premise solutions for their customers’ which safeguards their revenue stream. M-Power’s focus is on reducing costs and improving outputs for modern, forward thinking organizations using Cloud solutions.
The Client Base
M-Power believes building long-term, trust-based partnerships with their clients and only ever taking on projects that they can deliver provides an unrivalled outcome for their customers.

M-Power’s Xcelerate solutions are easy to implement, accelerate project delivery timescales, reduce overall costs and most importantly reduce project risks.
Future Perspective
M-Power’s growth opportunities excite them about the future.

They are excited to be at the forefront of the Cloud explosion which has driven the fantastic growth of their business over the last 2 years and allowed them to deliver exciting new solutions to customers of all sizes.
In the past, M-Power’s customers were predominantly large complex organizations but now they are able to provide the same powerful solutions at a fraction of the price to small and medium size businesses as well. It is also an exciting time for existing Oracle customers who are working with them on their journey to the Cloud which is helping them to reduce costs, drive innovation and improve user engagement through the new Cloud interfaces.
