Jamie Smith and Steven Pryce were working for different large software firms that were partners to each other when they realised they had a common gripe.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cBoth of us were frustrated by organisational bureaucracy and both firmly believed that being customer responsive was the way to create long-term and sustainable value,\u201d says Smith.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe also had a passion for our customers\u2019 entire value chain \u2013 how solutions helped them and their customers \u2013 not just our software and the services that went with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The duo felt there was a gap in the market for a more customer-focused approach and subsequently set up their own individual companies, which were then merged.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe saw a major gap between what vendors stated and said versus the customer reality of implementing a solution,\u201d says Smith. \u201cVendor approaches tended to operate in a vacuum whilst the end customer experience never featured in the consideration of major platform upgrades. We fill that gap.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Orpheus provides a full range of software assessment, implementation and support services to companies, with the insurance industry a key focus.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe challenge and excitement of being totally responsible for our own success is a powerful motivating force for us,\u201d says Smith.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cPositive feedback from our customers by way of commentary and continuing business reinforces our belief that we have made the right choice.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
