Digital Adoption Consulting in Durham
Digital adoption work for Durham organisations that have already bought the software. The licences are paid, the training happened, and half the business is still working the old way — usually because the old way was never switched off, and running both is always easier than changing.
Why this comes up
The problem
The new system went live eighteen months ago and the previous one is still available, so most people never moved.
What you get
What we deliver
- Actual usage measured per team and per feature, not per licence assigned
- The workarounds found and understood, since they usually indicate a real gap
- A date set for retiring the old way, with what must be true before it happens
- Barriers removed — permissions, missing data, steps that are genuinely worse
- Support concentrated where the measurement shows people are stuck
- Licences reduced where a tool is not being used and will not be

Digital Adoption Consulting in Durham — common questions
- Why is parallel running so damaging?
- Because it removes the reason to change. As long as the old spreadsheet, inbox or system still works, a busy person will use the thing they already know, and no amount of encouragement competes with the path that requires nothing new on a difficult Tuesday.
- What does measuring adoption properly involve?
- Looking at behaviour rather than access. Licences assigned tells you what you bought; how many people used a particular feature last week tells you whether the investment is working, and the gap between those two numbers is usually where the whole business case went.
- Are workarounds always a problem?
- No, they are evidence. When several teams independently invent the same spreadsheet, the system is missing something they need, and the correct response is to fix the gap rather than to insist on compliance with a process that does not fit the work.
- What if the tool genuinely is not being used?
- Then stop paying for it, and say so plainly. Some purchases were wrong, some solved a problem that has since gone away, and continuing to fund an unused platform in the hope adoption improves is a decision worth making deliberately rather than by renewal — which occasionally makes this engagement one that reduces our own scope.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
