Why Deeo?
After years of success with the traditional 'analogue' bricks and mortar
design & engineering consultancy, our founding team realised - with
the advances in technology and the need for the RIGHT team, no
mater where they are - this way of working was no longer ‘fit for
purpose’.
We created Deeo to enable forward-thinking clients the ability to
embrace the latest innovations in design engineering consultancy
services, freeing them from a myriad of inefficiencies inherent in the
old way of working.
Deeo created Europe’s first Virtual Design Office from where all of our
team work. At the heart of our virtual design office is a game-
changing innovation – we like to call 'the HUB'. Housed in a secure &
resilient ex-Government facility, the HUB is a suite of high specification
hardware located in a Tier 4 Datacentre environment, accessed
remotely by our team, letting them collaborate seamlessly using
cutting-edge tools on highly complex engineering projects.
Our service is rooted firmly in traditional values - we believe strongly
in delivering value to our customers in long-term relationships. & our
confidence in Deeo's digital way of working is grounded in extensive
industry experience, with long-lasting client relationships developed
over two decades of handling complex projects in transport, defence,
civil engineering & beyond.

The Problems Today
So here’s the common problem. You have mounting design or
engineering work to complete but your team’s already too busy! You
don’t want to get more office space, buy more computers & software
as this will take too long & the costs would be crazy.
You also know that even if you did have space & more machines,
finding a local Mr or Mrs Right to add to your team to complete your
project, is even more time consuming & in some cases, impossible! So
what can you do? Introducing Deeo…
Deeo is the next generation in contract design & engineering support
services to a wide range of industry sectors. A UK & possibly European
first, Deeo brings together the best designers & engineers from across
the UK & the latest technology advances in virtualised working,
allowing Deeo to provide the best design & engineering support to
our clients as & when they need it.

The Deeo Difference
Deeo’s founder created Deeo to overcome many of the challenges
design & engineering departments, across multiple sectors, face
today.
After being first a designer, project engineer & then managing &
owner of a successful traditional contract design office over the last
20+ years, he saw all of the challenges & experienced a lot first hand.
Challenges to multiple engineering sectors, such as
Software advances
The advent of CAD in a 2D form - through to advanced 3D solutions.
Which software/s to pick!?
Hardware advances
From server based workstations to CAD on PC. PC advances to
powerful workstations to handle the advances in the CAD software
capability – an ever increasing burden.
Manpower
The dwindling of good draftsmen, designers & engineers. Their cost
increase & skills gap, leaving many industries struggling to fulfil their
requirements.
Overheads
The drastic cost increase of office space, business rates & all other
facility costs that companies endure & pass on to their customers!

Why Deeo?
Offshoring
The rise, fall & limitations of low cost CAD bureau services in low
paid/unlicensed Asian based countries using un licenced software that
western companies are liable for!
DATA security
From A1 printed drawings to megabits of CAD data, the security of
clients Intellectual Property is infinitely more involved
Cost of living
Designer’s & engineers reluctance to travel great distances to work as
fuel & transport costs rise disproportionately to wages.
These are just some of the many challenges the engineering industry
faces day-to-day & is why Deeo was created.
Why is Deeo different?
From the ground up Deeo’s whole business is based on embracing
the latest technology, licenced engineering software & the UK’s best
designers & engineers to deliver the most scalable, flexible, secure &
cost effective way an engineering company can add to their team as
& when they need too. Allowing Deeo to truly be their Design Partner
when they need us.
So how do we do this?

How We Work
Deeo is a unique & innovative Design & Engineering Consultancy that
operate in the cloud for many forward thinking clients in multiple industry
sectors. Bringing the best in design & engineering expertise to clients
through a collective their team handpicked & bought together specifically
for each clients need.
Unlike the old traditional Design Office, Deeo are not constrained by
location or a ‘local’ employee model that dictates both expensive overhead
costs & a limited number of ‘minds’ available to work on client projects.
Instead, the most skilled & appropriate designers & engineers Deeo have,
across the UK & globally, are bought together to work within the Deeo’s
unique virtual design office. No matter where they are, they all produce
great things!
This ground breaking model of working, created & compiled not only
brings unrivalled expertise & flexibility to the Deeo’s designers & engineers,
but also carries a large number of advantages for clients.
From an inclusive & virtual working environment where clients can log in at
any time to their own workstation to work alongside/see how we are
progressing, to the immense talent pool that is available to either bolster
or add to their own in-house capabilities, Deeo can deliver even the most
complex & demanding of projects seamlessly. See how – Click Here
Here are the four key elements Deeo uniquely bring together to deliver
such an experienced team working with the latest hardware/software, all
connected to work together from one safe & secure point.

the HUB
At the heart of Deeo is the HUB.
Based in the UK in a Tier 4 datacentre, the HUB is a suite of Deeo
owned technology that houses secure servers & a private backed up
data storage. From these servers, at present, we have the capability to
deploy – in minutes - up to 40 high specifications “Virtual” workstations
for our designers & engineers to use.
Our team members connect from their location to their powerful
workstation in the HUB, via a secure encrypted password protected
connection. Once logged in, they complete their work together with
other Deeo team members in a controlled & secure way.
All of the data the designers/engineers create or modify stays in the
HUB. No data is transferred to their local machines. This means
multiple members of our team can work on one master dataset – safe
in the knowledge they are working on the latest development. A single
source of truth!
Wherever, Whenever
the HUB frees up our designers, engineers & specialists at all levels to
work anywhere, anytime, while our processes ensure that we have the
cohesion, consistency & control to bring you the best results.
Here’s how we are all connected >

the TEAM
To deliver projects on time & on budget, you don’t just need high
specification hardware & software in the most scalable office environment
possible – you need a Team! The 'best of the best'.
But we all know that there is a shortage of designers & engineers in
not only the UK but Europe too.
We Have the Solution
Deeo have overcome this problem, bringing design & engineering services
into the Digital Age with the creation of the HUB, allowing the brightest
minds from across the UK & Europe to collaborate seamlessly.
Because our team can choose to live anywhere & work flexibly, we attract the
very best people & because location is no longer an obstacle to
employment, it gives our clients immediate access to
the best & brightest individuals in your industry & time zone!
Driving Productivity
With less time wasted, easier communication & the tools & environment for
better productivity, our team members are able to spend more time focusing
on their work & less time engaged in unproductive activities.
The technology we've used to achieve this may be complex but the idea is
simple: Deeo provide the ultimate Design Partner Experience. You get the
best team & most advanced tools you need, wherever
you are, whenever you need them.
You Know Best
Our working mode may be digital, but we believe in face-to-face contact
with our clients from the outset, One TEAM – different locations.

Connected
Deeo are physically located in the centre of the UK, but it's more
accurate to say that we are anywhere & everywhere, with a team of
experts in multiple locations & a 'virtual design office' where it all
comes together.
Unified Vision
The fact that all our work takes place in a single virtual location - the
HUB - radically affects productivity. Only one master design is
developed so there is no duplication of work or competing iterations.
But doesn't the virtual nature of working this way mean that team
members are disconnected from one another & unable to
communicate properly? The answer is a resounding 'no'. Working in
this way vastly improves communication.
Speak Easy
Design is a collaborative process - but we don't have to be in the
same real-world location to communicate. In the HUB, everyone is
connected all the time & able to communicate via video & voice calls,
instant messaging or email - users can even hand over control of their
screen to other team members for collaboration.
And because everything takes place within the HUB, all
communications are recordable & measurable, allowing project
leaders to identify bottlenecks & inefficiencies easily.
