Technology in Professional Services (TiPS) helps UK-based mid-tier and smaller accounting and law firms to innovate using digital technology, and generates new insights into adoption, for the professional services sector as a whole.
What does TiPS involve?
The core TiPS activity is to directly support firms in adopting technology. This is being accomplished by providing various forms of training and support, tailored to the level of readiness and ambition of individual firms. Firms may also become part of the TiPS community and participate in other events and activities. These events and activities help us to achieve the wider objective of understanding the opportunities and challenges of technology adoption in professional services, and helping accelerate it across the sector as a whole.
Firms can apply to participate in free training and support related to Microsoft 365 applications, complete a contact form so as to be kept informed of activities and events, or write to us to explore other possible ways of collaborating.

What does Inclusive Open Finance Passport involve?
The Inclusive Open Finance Passport project, will address this challenge of privacy and trust in the evolving Open Finance, to allow inclusivity, transparency and usability of customers’ digital traces, by providing an Open Finance Passport to the end-users in a decentralised environment provided by distributed ledger so that not only entities working in Europe and the UK can benefit from Open Finance, but also countries where the financial market is not as advanced, such as in African countries and South East Asia.

Veris smartphone application
Thanks to DIGIT Lab, a scientist, clinician or designer can build and prototype an app to carry out user research by simply building a protocol file without any programming.
Veris smartphone application
Led by David Plans and JONATHAN BIRD
Veris emerged from research on measuring well-being telemetrically (remotely, using web or mobile applications), primarily aimed at using physical (biometric) data and questionnaires to assess mental health. Responding to the increasing need to measure and intervene scalably in both healthcare systems such as the NHS and in large workforces, Veris was designed to allow for a non-coder to be able to organise a protocol (a set of questionnaires and/or biometric tests given in a particular order and frequency in time) and deploy it without having to write a smartphone application from scratch: its remit is thus to provide a telemetric epidemiology framework that is open and easy to use.
