Digital transformation remains a top priority for UK enterprises as they seek to stay competitive, resilient and customer centric in fast evolving markets, yet many high-profile initiatives stall, becoming burdened by outdated methodologies, misaligned incentives or just the inertia of complexity. At Modu we believe “transformation” is outdated and that change needs to be constant, not a one off exercise. We challenge the convention with an approach that offers a powerful pragmatic alternative, delivering real value fast in just 60 working days.

UK small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are losing faith in the government’s ability to support them — and it’s threatening the country’s economic future. That’s the warning from new research by Umazi, a digital identity platform for business verification, which reveals a troubling disconnect between government ambition and real-world delivery.
According to the findings in the Umazi report, Broken ID, Broken Growth: The UK’s Verification Chokehold, based on a survey of 500 SMEs, over 60% say there is little to no meaningful government innovation aimed at helping them thrive. A further 38% believe progress is too slow, and 28% point out a lack of coordination between agencies as a critical obstacle.

With the increasing development of critical broadband networks, the key issue for network operators is how to ensure mission critical services delivered over broadband interwork with the existing narrowband land mobile radio (LMR) networks such as TETRA.
A new white paper from TCCA titled ‘Interworking Function (IWF) Interworking of LMR networks with 3GPP Mission Critical Services’ explores the opportunities and challenges of interworking LMR networks with 4G/5G-based 3GPP Mission Critical Services (MCX) solutions by leveraging the standard-defined Interworking Function (IWF). The aim of this integration is to strengthen communication capabilities, achieve seamless interoperability, and enable a gradual and successful adoption of broadband technologies.
