Engineering AI-driven transformation at enterprise scale
We help enterprises modernise core systems, unlock data intelligence, and ship production-grade AI — across web, mobile, and cloud.
One partner across the full engineering stack
From the data layer to the experience layer — engineered for outcomes, not just shipped as software.
AI & Generative AI
Production GenAI, agentic systems, and multimodal AI built for reliability — not demos.
Cloud Modernisation
Migrate, re-architect, and modernise legacy estates without disrupting the business.
Data Engineering
Pipelines, lakehouses, and real-time analytics that turn raw data into decisions.
Product Engineering
Full-lifecycle product builds — discovery, design, delivery, and scale.
Mobile & Cross-Platform
Native iOS, Android, and cross-platform apps engineered for performance and reach.
Digital Experience
UX, design systems, and front-end engineering that move enterprise metrics.
AI at scale — not experimentation
We measure success in business outcomes: speed to value, cost reduction, and durable scale.
Faster delivery
Modernised pipelines and AI-assisted engineering compress release cycles without quality trade-offs.
Run-cost reduction
Cloud right-sizing and architecture modernisation lower total cost of ownership across the estate.
Built to grow
Event-driven, cloud-native foundations that scale from pilot to enterprise rollout cleanly.
Outcomes our clients can measure
Hours of CCTV, answered in seconds
An on-prem video-intelligence system that turns footage into plain-English, timestamped answers.
Mapping-stack migration at scale
Re-platformed a connected-vehicle mapping system to a modern, native iOS foundation.
Real-time low-latency video pipeline
RTSP-to-WebRTC streaming with sub-second delivery for a live operations demo.
Thought leadership
Why most enterprise GenAI pilots never reach production — and how to fix it
Modernising without disruption: the strangler-fig pattern in practice
An enterprise AI governance framework that engineers actually use
Enterprise engineering services, built around outcomes
Six disciplines, one delivery model. Each engagement is scoped to a measurable business result — and engineered to run in production, not just pass a demo.
Domain depth where the stakes are highest
We work in regulated, complex, high-consequence sectors — where AI has to be accurate, auditable, and production-grade.
Problem → Solution → Impact
Selected engagements. Metrics shown are representative of the engineering outcomes we target on each programme.
Where enterprise AI becomes production reality
GenAI platforms, agentic systems, and governance frameworks — engineered to run reliably inside the enterprise, on your infrastructure.
The enterprise AI stack we build on
GenAI Platforms
Retrieval, orchestration, and guardrails packaged as a reusable internal platform — not one-off scripts.
Agentic AI Systems
Multi-step agents that take actions safely, with human-in-the-loop checkpoints and full traceability.
AI Governance
Policy, evaluation, audit logging, and access control — a framework engineers actually adopt.
Enterprise AI Labs
Embedded adoption labs that take a use case from idea to validated, deployed capability.
VisionIQ — multimodal video intelligence
Our production proof that we ship hard AI, not slideware. VisionIQ connects to existing camera estates, watches every frame, and lets anyone search footage in plain English — returning timestamped, evidence-grade answers in under two seconds.
- Natural-language query across thousands of live streams
- ANPR, object, person, vehicle type, colour & direction detection
- Multimodal RAG over a continuously-built video index
- On-prem, private-cloud, hybrid, or air-gapped deployment
- Role-based access, audit trails & chain-of-custody logging
Runs where your data has to live
Most enterprises need choice. VisionIQ deploys across the full spectrum — without changing the product experience.
On-Premise / Air-Gapped
Entire stack on your hardware. No internet required. Built for policing, defence, and critical infrastructure.
Private Cloud / Hybrid
VPC-isolated deployment on AWS, Azure, or GCP with your keys and your network boundary.
Custom Integration
On-prem API into existing CAD, VMS, body-worn, or internal platforms — no external dependencies.
From idea to production AI in four stages
Discover
Identify the highest-value use case and define a measurable outcome.
Prototype
Build a validated working system against real data in weeks.
Harden
Governance, evaluation, security, and scale-readiness.
Scale
Roll out across sites and teams with full observability.
An AI-native engineering firm, built for the enterprise
Cognitivea AI exists for one reason: to take enterprise AI and modernisation from ambition to production. We are engineers first — and we measure ourselves on outcomes that show up in the business.
Engineering outcomes, not just software
We don't sell hours or hype. We scope to a measurable result — reduced cost, faster modernisation, scaled AI adoption — and engineer the system that gets there. Then we harden it for production: governance, security, observability, and the ability to run on your infrastructure.
Built on the platforms you trust
We work natively across the major cloud and AI ecosystems.
Build the future of AI systems
We hire engineers who want to ship production AI for real enterprises — not run endless pilots. Deep ownership, hard problems, measurable impact.
An engineering-driven culture
Ownership
Own a problem end-to-end, from discovery through production and scale.
Real AI work
Multimodal AI, agents, and platforms in production — not demos that die in a slide.
Modern stack
Swift, Kotlin, cross-platform, cloud-native, and the best AI tooling available.
