SDTC Solutions
There’s no difference what industry you’re in. Whether you’re in private, public or non-profit sector. What size your company or organisation is. Whether you like it or dread it, we’re living through the Fourth Industrial Revolution. And as with the past three, the only sure thing about it is that if you ignore it, you’ll lose in the only race that matters – the race towards successful and prosperous future.
At SDTC Solutions we don’t offer you an oven-ready solution of harnessing Industry 4.0, but to partner our expertise, knowledge and skills in Digital Transformation with your business acumen and vision for the future to develop an actionable strategy, tools, organisational structure, policies & clear roadmaps to grow the business, control the costs and improve the customer experience – to stay competitive and win in business, to secure our communities, to provide new unthinkable opportunities for disadvantaged groups today and future generations tomorrow.
Our Story
Having studied hundreds of digital transformation stories from around the world, we’ve learnt that technological prowess is rarely the key to successful transformation in Industry 4.0 times – Cloud/Fog/Edge computing, IoT, Big Data, Robots, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, 5G, etc. today are not more than steam power in 18th, electricity in 19th or computers in 20th centuries. Ignoring them is a huge mistake, but so is considering the emerging tech a silver bullet.
That’s why we developed our highly successful approach to digital business transformation, which prioritises the improvement of business & operational processes as well as customer experiences. We then help identifying the right technology mix to achieve lasting improvements in those areas, updating (or introducing) the risk management practices & procedures and ensuring your organisation’s most valuable asset – it’s people – is ready for continued efficient, secure and productive work.
The most recent focus of our work is enabling post-quantum cryptography (PQC) preparedness for our clients, as most national cyber-security advisories published their roadmaps.

SDTC Solutions is led by Martin Denz, an agile-minded digital transformation professional with extensive experience across Hi-Tech R&D, IT Operations, Agriculture, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Construction, Education and Finance. During his successful 17-year career at Intel Corporation, Martin grew frustrated with digital transformation approaches that prioritised technical jargon and product sales over genuine business results and customer experiences, often leading to IT overspending and customer disillusionment.
Martin’s business-first approach predates his 2012 MBA from Moscow Business School, enhanced by post-graduate courses from Imperial College Business School, Harvard University and The University of Edinburgh. Combined with his Computer Science MSc, this enables him to prioritise business needs whilst helping customers understand complex IT concepts and implement modern solutions to real-world problems.
