What an incredible day at World Tour in Auckland! ❄️

It was brilliant to see local enterprises demonstrating how they have moved beyond traditional data warehouses to operationalise their analytics. The discussions around Agentic AI, trusted governance, and robust data foundations align perfectly with what we are seeing in the market.

How do you navigate a complex data transformation at enterprise scale?

When Auckland Council embarked on modernising their legacy environment, they partnered with FIRN to help scale their analytics capability and empower their internal teams.

Sarah Cawsey, General Manager Data Services, and Andrew Parkinson, Head of Analytics at Auckland Council, reflect on our long-standing partnership and how integrating external expertise helped their team transition seamlessly into a modern data ecosystem.

At FIRN, modernising a data environment is never just a technology exercise. It is about working alongside your team to embed lasting internal capability, providing the agile support needed to navigate complex change as your business evolves.

We've Moved! Welcome to FIRN's New Home.

This July, we opened the doors to our new office. It is an exciting milestone in the FIRN journey, and one we’re proud to share.

This is the sixth office we've called home since FIRN was founded in 2017. Each move has reflected our continued growth, with every space a little bigger than the last as our team, clients, and partnerships have expanded.

Our new office gives us even more room to do what we love - bringing people together. Whether it's team workshops, client meetings, training sessions, potluck lunches, celebrations, or simply collaborating over a coffee, this space has been designed to support the way we work and connect.

We look forward to creating many more great memories and delivering even greater outcomes from our new home.

If you're in the neighbourhood, we'd love to see you. Feel free to pop in and say hello!

🎓FIRN Graduate Programme Mid-Year Milestone!

We’ve reached the halfway mark of FIRN Graduate Programme, and Juan and Rohan are now contributing meaningfully across client delivery and internal R&D.

In their second quarter, our Graduates have:
🔹Supporting live client dashboards and reporting solutions and analytics projects.
🔹Working with teams across different business functions to see how data drives real-world decisions.
🔹Building knowledge in specialist systems and technologies that were completely new at the start of the programme.
🔹Taking part in cross-team workshops, presentations and knowledge sharing.

At FIRN, we are witnessing rapid growth in their technical skills. We remain deeply impressed by their confidence, teamwork, and structured approach to solving complex problems.

We value their insight and are curious to hear: what was your most significant learning over the last quarter?
💬 Juan’s response: My most significant learning last quarter was the importance of communicating ideas clearly and building strong relationships. Technical skills matter, but being able to work effectively with people is just as valuable.

💬 Rohan’s response: My most significant learning from last quarter was the importance of staying adaptable, asking for support when needed, and building strong relationships to support both my personal and professional growth.

✨A sincere thank you to University of Auckland for their collaboration with this programme. Providing emerging talent with the opportunity to gain practical experience on real-world projects is vital for shaping the future of the New Zealand tech sector.
