Nigel Meacham

Press Release: 14/05/2024 – Qarbon Technologies (Qarbon), the world’s first platform for securely transferring data between workflow management and data centre systems, is excited to announce the start of an ongoing collaboration with Cambridge Management Consulting (Cambridge MC), an international management consultancy. This will initiate a joint go-to-market strategy, providing Cambridge MC with a digital solution to provide to their portfolio of clients and customers, and provide Qarbon with a management solution for implementing and assisting with a client’s existing infrastructure.

Qarbon’s service, LATTICE™, is a SaaS-based orchestration platform designed to provide a single interface between data centres and customers, allowing them to avoid the challenges caused by using multiple providers with varying systems for managing data. This offers a solution to data centre infrastructure which is more secure in its transparency, compliant through its use of OpenAPI, and sustainable by reporting ESG data.

Thus, Qarbon and Cambridge MC will together provide an ongoing orchestration platform and service wrap, including data cleansing and management, cost reduction, and procurement services, to a market of international customers and clients who require support or transformation of their digital infrastructure. By implementing LATTICE™, this collaboration between Cambridge MC and Qarbon represents a joint go-to-market strategy, widening Cambridge MC’s portfolio of solutions while allowing Qarbon to further disseminate their service.

Robert Davidson, Founder and CEO of Qarbon, said: "Today marks a pivotal moment, as Qarbon Technologies partners with Cambridge Management Consulting to redefine how digital infrastructure is managed and optimised across industries. This collaboration not only amplifies our mission to streamline data workflows through our LATTICE™ platform but also empowers Cambridge MC's clients with transformative, secure, and sustainable digital solutions. Together, we are setting a new standard for operational excellence and strategic growth in the tech sector."

Nigel Meacham, Managing Partner for Digital Procurement at Cambridge MC, said: "Cambridge Management Consulting is excited by our collaboration with Qarbon. A combination of Cambridge MC’s experience and innovative consulting, alongside Qarbon’s LATTICE™ orchestration platform, is truly unique, providing clients with an approach for managing data centre estates going forward that is based on reliable, cleansed, and normalised inventories."

Case Study: A Rapid Strategy Stress Test to Accelerate a Go-to-Market Strategy

by Mauro Mortali • 9 May 2026

We were approached by a global networking systems, services, and software company that specialises in optical and routing solutions. Their technology helps carriers, enterprises, and governments build more efficient and scalable networks, particularly for high-bandwidth applications like 5G, cloud computing, and AI-driven networking. Africa is a key strategic market for this client. They are also playing an active role in advancing outlined 5G technology on the continent, emphasising a focus on routing and switching aggregation components, network slicing, and monetisation. The Opportunity The client engaged Cambridge MC to provide external insight and support to augment and accelerate the progress of their Go-to-Market plans for Africa. We proposed our in-house rapid Strategy Stress Test that delivers key insights across areas of your strategy using a 1–5 health-scoring matrix. The client's aim is to grow market share in the region with a precisely focussed strategy that targets their market with key propositions and solutions. We were engaged to review this strategy and their plans for the region, identifying critical opportunities and gaps with a quick turnaround. Approach We used our Rapid Strategy Stress Test methodology which provides: Target geographies, opportunities, and partners for resource effectiveness and success maximisation Assessment of client's Go-to-Market Strategy including identification and testing of key assumptions Identification of new opportunities and any gaps in the strategy Recommendations on how best to capitalise on the market and accelerate their route to success This included carrying out target addressable and client-addressable market sizing by country for the Optical, Data Centre Interconnect, Routing and Switching portfolios; competitor market share analysis; analysis of current and planned data centre build in the target countries; future trend analysis, including Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal and Environmental trends by country. We put their GtM strategy and plans through our Stress Test framework, scoring capabilities against best-in-class – across 11 parameters such as Market Potential, Adaptability to Local Needs, Pricing and Marketing & Demand Generation. Recommendations were made against each of the 11 areas relating to opportunities to accelerate their GtM strategy. In order to support effective targeting of resources into key countries, we developed a country prioritisation framework across 15 parameters, such as GDP growth, energy supply, stability of regulatory environment, and ease of doing business. This quantitative assessment was supplemented with the real world experience of our Africa experts.
