What we do

We help our clients bridge the gap between business and technology by providing practical, impartial advice at all stages in a project life cycle, from the conceptual phase through to completion. We help organisations evaluate, prototype and design new business concepts, develop new products and services and test and certify complex systems using advanced techniques and fully-automated robotic test management.

Hyperlab

Hyperlab is Consult Hyperion’s technical team of IT professionals with well-developed skills in various forms of development (application, web, mobile and embedded), testing, certification, systems design and systems administration. The team is experienced in taking functional specifications and requirements through a software development lifecycle (SDL) to produce the desired output in timescales appropriate to our client’s needs. The SDL utilised places significant focus on security, testing and client feedback such that the development stays on track with our client’s requirements even when these may be fluctuating as the project progresses. In particular the team has significant experience working with new technologies and specifications which are still undergoing changes whereby they provide significant feedback to the client on both the suitability and capability of technologies and business concepts to be implemented in the real world.


The diagram below visualises some of the many technologies, components and concepts which we use on a regular basis. As well as using standard development platforms like Windows and the Internet, we make significant use of more niche areas like smart cards, smart phones, embedded devices, robots and payment terminals.  Throughout all of our work we focus on a User (cardholder, customer, operator or appropriate other role) centric model and we make use of several core components – connectivity, usability, security and identity.
