What IOCO SOLUTIONS LIMITED does

IOCO SOLUTIONS LIMITED (trading as iOCO UK) is a Reading-headquartered private limited company that operates as the key international arm of South African-listed EOH Group, delivering end-to-end digital transformation services across cloud infrastructure, application development, data and analytics, quality assurance, security, and intelligent automation. The company serves enterprise clients — primarily in financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, and technology sectors — across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, with a global team of approximately 4,500 and a client base of roughly 3,000 organisations. Documented engagements include large-scale cloud migrations (718 to 960 production servers, 1,867 databases across 240 applications), with reported outcomes of 29% compute cost reduction and 37% improvement in migration velocity.

The company's underlying technology stack spans multi-cloud managed services across AWS, Google Cloud, and VMware Cloud Foundation, supplemented by a proprietary IP portfolio: Hoverfly Cloud (API simulation), Docs2Data (AI-powered intelligent document processing achieving 80% automation), NAMAA (agriculture and land management), Impression (eSignature), UDAF (test automation framework), and an in-house FinOps platform. iOCO holds elite-tier partner status with AWS (Migration and Modernisation Competency), Google Cloud (Partner Advantage), VMware by Broadcom (VCSP Premier), Denodo (sole UK Gold Partner), and OpenText (Platinum).

The business model combines managed cloud services on subscription contracts, project-based professional services for cloud migration and modernisation, recurring software licensing for proprietary IP, and usage-based consumption for hosted cloud infrastructure. Pricing is predominantly custom-quoted under multi-year enterprise engagements rather than publicly disclosed. Distribution is executed through direct enterprise field sales supplemented by a partner channel that includes white-label VMware Cloud Foundation delivery to VCSP Registered Partners. Customer concentration centres on large enterprise deals — particularly African financial services migrations — with FinOps, security governance, and multi-cloud complexity positioned as the principal pain points addressed.
