    • About Ruth Weatherall

    Name – Ruth Weatherall

    Job Position – Co-founder & Operations Director, occasional Bean Counter, the short boss

    Experience – How do you do this bit without sounding old? 20 years in IT with startups that grew up into corporates starting out in support and ending up managing and then consulting in ServiceNow deployments. I’m all about the process baby.

    ServiceNow expertise – I go all the way back to Winter 2009 just don’t ask me to code anything.

    What people really think of me – Oh dear….half (OK three-quarters) would say I’m scary, the ones that really know me know the truth. Loves whiteboards, Excel spreadsheets, cool data visualisation and cake.

    Why low code is the perfect business transformation cherry picker

    It’s fair to assume that any organisations not going through some form of technology enabled transformation are today firmly in the minority. However, according to McKinsey, 70% of digital transformations fail, suggesting that intent alone is no guarantee of success. We help organisations scope and implement transformative projects using low code and the challenge we experience is too much slow and…

    Why I'm determined to do my bit for women in the IT sector

    My career in technology started out purely by luck. I was a Maths graduate who was looking for a temping job over the summer break before my graduate Operational Research position was due to start in September. This was 1998 and the company I landed at was Cisco – fairly small in the UK at the time but growing incredibly quickly. The manager of the team I joined, the wonderful Ian Catlin, saw something…

If you’re of the technical persuasion and want to know more about…

    Getting to Bronze

    Those of you that know the history of UP3 will know that Matt & I formed the company at the beginning of 2016 after working together at TeamUltra for 5 years. It wasn’t easy to step out on our own and we really did start from scratch with our own money, our experience, and an unwavering belief in the platform we had worked with for so long.
