Connected hardware platform that eliminated the blind spots in our operational data

Declan Hartley / Chief Digital Officer - Southern Cross Technology
Verified
Feb 21, 2026

Project summary: A content deal had given us the rights to a major catalogue but our delivery infrastructure could not stream it reliably at scale. We needed a cloud-native video platform in under six months.

I came into this engagement as a sceptic. We had been through a failed implementation with a previous vendor and I had high standards for what evidence of competence looked like before I would trust a partner with our core systems. This team earned that trust progressively — through the quality of the discovery documentation, the rigour of the technical proposals, the consistency of the sprint deliveries, and ultimately the stability of the production system. I no longer lead with scepticism when recommending them.

PROS

Commercially transparent throughout — no hidden assumptions, no bill shock at the end, change requests that were fair and clearly explained rather than used as a margin-recovery mechanism

CONS

Their insistence on a detailed functional specification before development began felt like friction at the time. In retrospect, it was the reason the development phase ran without the ambiguity that has derailed similar projects for us previously

Questions & Answers

Please describe your company, your role, and the industry you operate in.
Southern Cross Technology operates in the Media & Entertainment sector with headquarters in Sydney, Australia. In my role as Chief Digital Officer I am accountable for the full technology agenda — infrastructure, product, and vendor relationships. We are a commercially driven organisation and every technology decision is evaluated against a clear business case before it is approved.
What specific problem or business challenge led you to hire this company?
The immediate problem was that our IoT Development capability had become the bottleneck limiting our ability to grow. Every feature request, every new client requirement, every internal initiative was delayed by a platform that had been extended beyond its original design. We needed a rebuild, not a patch.
What services did the company provide for your project?
The scope covered the full IoT Development lifecycle: discovery and requirements definition, solution architecture, iterative development across twelve sprints, integration testing, performance validation, production deployment, and a structured four-week hypercare period. They also provided system documentation and a knowledge transfer programme for our internal team.
Why did you choose this company over other providers you considered?
A trusted peer in the Media & Entertainment sector had used them for a comparable IoT Development engagement and their recommendation was unequivocal. Our own due diligence confirmed the pattern they described. The combination of domain knowledge, IoT Development depth, and demonstrated delivery discipline was the deciding factor.
How clearly did the company understand your requirements and business goals?
Extremely well, in part because they had relevant Media & Entertainment experience that reduced the context-setting overhead significantly. They understood the domain vocabulary, asked the right questions, and translated business requirements into technical specifications with a fidelity that meant the development phase had very few clarification cycles.
How was your overall experience with their communication and project management?
The project management framework was the most structured I have experienced with an external vendor. Sprint planning was tight, acceptance criteria were specific, retrospectives were honest and acted on. The project manager treated the shared backlog as a live document and the risk register as an operational tool rather than a compliance artefact. I never had to ask for a status update.
Did the company deliver the project on time and within your expected budget?
On time and within the approved budget. The estimation accuracy was notable — they had broken the work down in sufficient detail during discovery that their forecast proved reliable throughout, rather than being a number that shifted with every change in scope. We received one change request and it was for scope we had introduced ourselves.
What tangible results or business impact have you seen since the project was completed?
The ROI case we presented to our board was conservative by design. Current performance against the financial model suggests we will hit the projected payback point in under twelve months against an eighteen-month target. The operational efficiency gains in particular have exceeded the model, in part because the quality of the data the new platform generates supports decisions that the previous system could not.
What did you like most about working with this company?
Their instinct for keeping the business objective visible throughout technical decision-making. I have worked with technically excellent teams who lose the strategic thread as complexity increases. This team maintained a clear connection between every architectural choice and the outcome we had agreed to achieve. That orientation made the trade-off conversations significantly easier.
Would you recommend this company to others, and would you work with them again?
Yes, without reservation. I have already made two direct referrals within my Media & Entertainment network — in both cases to peers facing IoT Development challenges similar to ours. I gave those referrals with confidence because I knew the experience I described was reproducible, not the result of exceptional circumstances on our engagement.

DevOps transformation that accelerated our release cycle

Project summary: We set out to build a content streaming platform capable of serving a global audience with low latency.

This was the smoothest technology project we have ever run. The team's expertise was evident from the first technical discussion, and their ability to translate complex requirements into elegant solutions is remarkable. They kept us informed at every step, flagged risks early, and delivered a high-quality product that our internal team is proud to maintain. Their ongoing support has been equally impressive.

PROS

Outstanding code quality, thorough documentation, smooth knowledge transfer, excellent post-launch support

CONS

Wish we had engaged them sooner; no meaningful issues to report

FAQs

What should I actually be looking at when comparing a company like twentysix to others?
When you're weighing up a software partner such as twentysix, it's worth looking past the pitch and checking the portfolio, what past clients say, relevant industry background, technical range, how they communicate, pricing structure, project management style, and what support looks like after launch. For context, it has served clients in Singapore, and it has been operating since 1996.
Can twentysix take on an old, outdated system rather than starting from scratch?
Modernizing legacy software is usually within scope for a firm like twentysix — re-platforming, refactoring old code, and moving things onto current frameworks or cloud infrastructure without necessarily rebuilding everything from zero. For context, it has served clients in Singapore, and it has experience across industries such as Insurance, Aerospace & Defense, Media & Entertainment, Legal Services, Logistics & Supply Chain and Government & Public Sector.
Does twentysix only work locally, or take on clients elsewhere too?
twentysix isn't necessarily limited to one region and may take on clients across several countries, including Singapore, depending on market demand and business partnerships.
Is twentysix more of an offshore setup or a local team?
That depends on where twentysix is based and who they primarily serve — some firms like this operate fully offshore, some are local-first, and plenty run a hybrid model that mixes both. For context, its listed capabilities span Content Management System, Digital Strategy, E-commerce Development, Mobile App Development and SEO, and it has experience across industries such as Insurance, Aerospace & Defense, Media & Entertainment, Legal Services, Logistics & Supply Chain and Government & Public Sector.
What makes twentysix worth considering over other options?
What tends to set twentysix apart usually comes down to some mix of technical depth, relevant industry experience, how clients describe working with them, their development approach, communication habits, and whether they can actually deliver something that scales. Founded in 1996, the company has built a track record of delivering projects across various industries.
Will twentysix sign an NDA before we even discuss the project in detail?
Most professional shops, including twentysix, expect to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement before getting into specifics — it's a fairly standard ask and a reasonable one to make before sharing anything sensitive. For context, it has served clients in Singapore, and its typical hourly rate is around $150 - $199.
What are the actual contract options if I want to work with twentysix?
Most companies structured like twentysix give you a choice between a fixed-price contract, a dedicated team arrangement, or time-and-materials billing, so you can pick whichever lines up with your budget and how well-defined your scope already is. For context, it has experience across industries such as Insurance, Aerospace & Defense, Media & Entertainment, Legal Services, Logistics & Supply Chain and Government & Public Sector, and it reports a team size of 50 - 249 professionals.
What kinds of industries has twentysix actually built for?
twentysix has delivered projects across a range of different industries, including Insurance, Aerospace & Defense, Media & Entertainment, Legal Services, Logistics & Supply Chain and Government & Public Sector.
What's the easiest way to actually get in touch with twentysix?
Most businesses reach twentysix through its website, a direct email, or a contact form — any of which works for discussing what you need, booking an initial conversation, or asking for a rough estimate.
