Testimonials

Ignite has been easy to work with, highly proactive, and consistently delivers on expectations — while going beyond when needed. Their clear communication, structured methodology, and knowledge enables them to quickly grasp ideas and align stakeholders before systemisation.

Marius Vermeulen

CEO

It is hard to find people that have a combination of the technical skills and a good sense of what a generator/ retailer needs and Ignite’s deep experience in the Australian energy industry meant that we could rely on them for this.

The way that Ignite engages with business users and constantly evaluates their performance, at the end in particular, is probably one of their strongest points. They are always trying to improve the way that they deliver.

Buzby Kuramoto

GM Enterprise Solutions Delivery

The ability of the Ignite team to listen to what we were actually trying to achieve and understand our objectives…was central to the project’s success.

John Gersekowski

Executive General Manager - Risk

Ignite speaks the language of the energy retailer. We had feedback from business stakeholders that other vendors who had been technically capable, had not really understood our business.

My predecessor had gathered a lot of positive feedback on Ignite as an organisation who had both the technical expertise and industry insight.

Mark Bonney

Vice President, IT, Change and Data

gnite delivered; not just the deliverable, and desired outcomes, but also picked a team that could work and communicate exceptionally well with us. Did not feel like a typical consulting gig and never felt like we were paying for ‘someone to borrow our watch to tell us the time’ or upsell.

Aaron Clark

Group Manager, Planning & Delivery

This was a process that we couldn’t pull off on our own. We needed subject matter expertise. We went to market looking for someone who had done it before. We chose the team at Ignite.

Matthew Szwec

Energy Solutions Lead

Ignite brought the expertise, a pragmatic approach and a focus on getting to the business value. This always comes before jumping straight into the technical solution, with Ignite. And they have experience working in our industry – and that showed.

Sriram Kalyan

Senior Manager, IT Planning & Architecture

It worked from day one. The platform has really enabled our team to expand their thinking and their capabilities.

Justin Kenny

Manager, Data Science

Pragmatic advice with a commercial focus on Ausgrid’s long term needs, ensuring Ausgrid is setup for success.

Ajay Mehta

Program Manager – Business Analytics & Innovation

Working with Ignite gave us a solid platform of high-level requirements to move forward with.

Sharon Jarvis

Projects Program and Solutions Delivery Manager

I would always recommend Ignite to other businesses looking to leverage the value in their data.

Matt Grygorcewicz

Business Intelligence Lead

First consultancy, who has come in on a lean brief and delivered On Time On Cost and, most importantly, without fuss. Great people to boot.

Carolyn Gray

General Manager - Information & Data Services

There is a lot less risk of error and we realise resource savings every day. This new platform enables us to spend more time focusing on refining our strategy, rather than having knee jerk reactions to market dynamics.

Hilary Newstead

Head of Strategic Energy Management

Very clear communication, and always using initiative and taking the lead to make it happen.

Alastair Williams

Chief Financial Officer

Ignite bridged the gap between Trading and our Digital team to assist in the delivery of some key datasets.

Having knowledge of both sides of the fence is highly valuable in these complex projects.

Tom Gregg

Head of Trading & Analytics

As a result of what Ignite built, many bad things just haven’t happened to us.

Chris Smyth

EGM Customer Operations

Ignite’s professional, open, pragmatic and business-centred approach has been invaluable to Ballance as we establish and embed our Data Science capability.

David Scullin

Chief Digital Officer

I love the Proof of Value approach to which our subsequent strategy is completely aligned.

Derek Del Nevo

Business Insights & Data Analytics Manager

Ignite also helped build the foundations for positive engagement between IT and key business stakeholders in data. Many of these stakeholders had not been direct beneficiaries of the IM Programme, so this was a valuable outcome for both business and IT.

John D'Souza

Enterprise Architect

One of the best things we developed with Ignite is a process to evaluate ideas across the business. Ignite brings a real people focus to process, they think about how we can embed good ideas into our everyday.

Brett Hartman

Head of Data and Analytics

I look back and wonder – how did we do that in such a short amount of time? The plan came together very quickly because we pulled in the right organisation, there was no messing around figuring out what to do. We got good advice, and we actioned it.

Sarah Lawley

Head of Energy Markets

Ignite bring quality service and thought leadership. They produce robust, well tested products and are always helpful in guiding, and contributing to our strategic direction.

Tim Grenside

Data Scientist

It was a great experience working with Ignite. I honestly have to say that out of all the projects I have done, working with Ignite was probably the easiest one ever. They came in and just fitted in with how our business ran.

Dale Kerswell

Planning & Sourcing Manager

Ignite deliver. You not only get what you asked for, you also get value added partnership helping with strategic thinking and advance analytics opportunities.

Lestor Meadows

Global Delivery – Enterprise Data Management & Analytics

Through a close partnership…we have been able to make a quantum leap forward in People Analytics. The Ignite team challenged us in all the right ways and brought their solid capabilities and know-how into executing the project. Our new People Analytics dashboards exceed what any of us had in mind.
