CST Technology

Our Resources

All CST resources fall into the following categories. There is no hierarchical structure. Again, in this area CST is different, this is intentional as we employ some of the best minds in the technology world. Data driven analysis shows that using a hierarchy with innovative minds is counter productive. As an example, CST employs a team of Mathematics PHDs who are involved in the writing and modelling of our core predictive algorithms. Categorising this team as reporting to another team is pointless. At CST, we operate an input/output mechanics measurement of team effectiveness. These are based on a variety of data factors. Each category of resources interacts to provide the client with a broad yet specialised knowledge base for both consulting and technical implementations:

Forward deployed Engineers

CST describes forward deployed engineers as those who interface with clients and work with clients to identify real world problems. These engineers will also have domain specific knowledge to provide the client the best possible full stack support. These front facing engineers will leverage support from the back office team of domain experts and technical architects. One CST founder is part of this group.

Back Office Engineers

These engineers are not client facing but provide the backbone for CST technical solutions. Based at our London office but mostly working from different parts of the globe, these back office resources handle implementation, development and monitoring of solutions as required by clients. One of our founders is part of this group.

Data Scientists

CST employs data scientists to write and train our predictive and trend monitoring algorithms. This is a very specialised field and represents the difference between a rule based approach and a cognitive approach. These scientists get development support from the core CST solution developers.

Research and Development Team

This team is tasked with continuous improvement and the testing of new technologies to enhance CSTs knowledge of the technology landscape and the support of current and past projects. This is also our window to the open source community as CST constantly innovates and contributes code to open source projects which supports the advancement of technology as a whole.

Project Managers

CST project managers lead CST projects and interface with the client’s project team as required. These resources are tasked with the project specific coordination of CST resources.

Domain Consultants

These are business domain experts who work with clients to provide business process assessment and consultancy. These resources will work in concert with CST forward deployed engineers to identify technical gaps and issues and plan for the resolution of the identified problems.

Governance & Quality Assurance Experts

These resources handle IT compliance and quality assurance for CST clients. They are tasked with providing client a forward thinking governance strategy and providing quality gatekeeping services to CST clients.

UX Architects

The role of this team is to oversee all user experience aspects of CST solutions including IT infrastructure monitoring and user screens. In either case the idea is to provide clients an advanced and consistent user experience in all solutions provided by CST.

Hardware Architects

This team of architects support clients in making infrastructure assessments/audits and recommending innovative solutions for client infrastructure. As clients migrate from rule based systems to cognitive platforms, this team supports this migration by implementing distributed infrastructure architecture for clients. This approach means clients can move to a more robust (and more cost effective) infrastructure to support current and future business needs.
