Alex Sensier
Principal Consultant
We have grown to become a trusted industry specialist, recognised for a team boasting the leading experts in CX Cloud and Siebel.
Our consultants are determined to be the best in the field, which is why we're constantly striving to feed our curiosity for new technology and industry-thinking.
Passion for how new technology can help businesses is central to the culture at Boxfusion. After all, it’s what drives us. Boxfusion employees take pride in their ambition to make their clients' businesses work more efficiently and better serve their customers.
The Boxfusion team is a fine example of the strength of diversity. Our consultants stem from many different backgrounds, and bring a wealth of unique skills and perspectives to the company.
We believe in collaboration. Our three annual conferences provide an ideal setting for the generation of ideas, where we provide a platform for our employees to share their technical knowledge and concepts with their colleagues.
The nature of consultancy means that our team members are often spread across diverse locations. That’s why we make a point of organising regular social gatherings, making it easy for colleagues to stay in touch.

The majority of my day involves working on customer projects either at client offices or from our office. We’re often working on multiple projects at once, so I could be designing solutions to client requirements, preparing for a new project, or leading the delivery team on an ongoing project in the same day. We work very closely with members of our customers’ teams and spend a lot of time communicating with people of varying levels of seniority, including Oracle product development to uncover new and better ways of using Oracle technology.
I’m involved in every phase of our projects, from the discovery and requirement-gathering workshops, to designing solutions and seeing their development through to production, to then training and supporting both colleagues and client teams, so each day brings different challenges.
We need to always understand our customers’ goals & pain points, and the biggest challenge can often be being able to weigh up client expectations with what can be delivered and what should be delivered. There might be times, for example, where the product can’t do what a client exactly wants which can sometimes affect the scope of work unexpectedly, and lead to difficult conversations! We have to guarantee our customers are receiving the best functionality from the products we’re delivering so that solutions are scalable for long term development, either by us, our customers or by Oracle’s investment in their products.
The team structure we have is great and it’s rewarding to work alongside likeminded colleagues. The skillset at the company means you can continuously learn from those around you, all of whom share a passion for the technology and industry. Furthermore, because we’re a small team, we get loads of responsibility and the role can be quite varied, which is very rewarding. For example, I’ve been able to pick up project management tasks alongside my traditional delivery-led role, which you typically wouldn’t get at a massive consultancy.
We strive to be the best and deliver excellent solutions, and this means paying particular attention to detail throughout project work. If you have an eye for the little things, but can also consider how this might affect the bigger picture, and you can identify problems and opportunities at an early stage, then Boxfusion is the place for you.
I think that anyone thinking of joining Boxfusion should also have the confidence to question things and challenge people. Don’t be put off by a role if you’re not completely technical as not everything that we do involves coding and ‘techy stuff’ – it’s so much more than that.
Varied, evolving, responsibility
There is no such thing as a typical day at Boxfusion. A morning can be spent discussing business requirements for a new integrated solution and then the afternoon troubleshooting an issue specific within Service. The variety of work and challenges means that a typical day can be very busy and challenging but also rewarding and eventful.
There is always something going on in the office and there is a strong sense of collaboration and knowledge sharing within the team making the office an enjoyable place to work. You can always learn something from those around you and have a team of skilled individuals to lean on and bounce ideas off.
Frequent company socials and conferences also help generate a relaxed team environment.
I left a large offshoring company with thousand of employees to join Boxfusion, and enjoy being able to make a real difference and contribute to developing the company. The role constantly brings new opportunities with a variety of work that means you are always learning something new and enhancing your own knowledge and capabilities.
If you are looking to work within a dynamic, growing company with talented individuals and have a hunger to learn, I would get in touch.
Rewarding, Challenging and Enjoyable
As soon as you get into the office, you tend to have a plan and know your tasks. However, there will always be something going on in parallel with tasks which keeps things interesting as I can never be sure where the day will take me or how it will end. I enjoy this variation, and find that the days bring a steady flow of challenges which are rewarded by client satisfaction.
The office is always a friendly and relaxed environment, even though some days can be more challenging than others. A lot of times, you get a real sense of excitement as multiple people across a range of projects work hard to express new concepts and ideas to better help our clients achieve their goals.
I like working with diverse clients and systems across different geographical locations. This has provided me with plenty of opportunities to see problems from different perspectives, enabling me to provide complex/elegant solutions tailored just to our clients needs.
If you are looking for a challenge, embrace the idea of working in a truly multicultural company, and are open to working on exciting projects for clients across the world, look no further!
[On] the cutting edge
It's hard to describe a typical day here because there are often a number of projects on the go at once and every one is different, so there's always variety in the work we do. Our focus is on providing the perfect technical solutions for our customers - whether that's through clever process automation, improving user experience (UX) to make staff happier and more efficient, or designing entirely new systems to meet new business needs - and consultants are involved at every step of the way, right from the design phase through to building, testing and supporting those systems.
On a typical project we liaise closely with other teams such as business analysts and system testers, and there are always meetings and discussions to be involved in to make sure we're getting things right. We often find ourselves leading workshops or focus groups to get an in-depth understanding of our customers' businesses - it can be illuminating to see how different industries and companies work, and how the work we do can help them.
If there's one thing that every project has in common though, it's problem-solving. Being a consultant means you're called on to solve problems and deliver solutions - and there's always a challenge in there!
Consultants are given a lot of responsibility on projects and they are expected to use their initiative and experience to find solutions to the challenges they encounter, but the team always works together to solve problems and there's a really strong culture of collaboration and knowledge-sharing. The team is often split across multiple projects so we make sure to have regular catch-ups to discuss the problems we've faced and share the interesting things we've learnt.
I wanted to work in a smaller, more innovative company and especially wanted a customer-facing role. At Boxfusion there are plenty of opportunities to get stuck in, learn new things and gain responsibility quickly, and while the company has grown quite a bit since I joined, there's still a close-knit feel and everyone gets along well, which makes for a great atmosphere.
We have regular socials and away days too, so it's easy to keep in touch with everyone even when you're all working on different projects.
As you gain more experience at Boxfusion you're given more responsibility on projects, so there's always the ability to progress and learn new skills. I now take on the role of Technical Lead on our projects so there's a lot more emphasis on making sure we're delivering the right solutions overall and working with project managers to keep everything on schedule. I'm seen as a technical expert and I'm often called on to help with some of the more complex problems we come across on our projects. There's a huge variety of challenges that can crop up and I'm often confronted with situations or technologies I've never come across before.
I'm now the Siebel Delivery Lead at Boxfusion, so I'm responsible for the overall quality of the work we deliver on the Siebel team, and for making sure we have consultants with the right skills for upcoming projects. I work with the management and sales teams to plan our projects and resources, and create initiatives to aid knowledge sharing and improve the performance of the team.
There is a lot of variety in the work that we do as a company. A typical day usually has a mixture of both development work and client meetings.
I have days when I’m more engaged in project-related client meetings, presentations or training; and there are others when I’m primarily coding and working on the implementation of a project. There are times when I am assigned to a single project on which I focus all my attention, and times when I am juggling various projects.
There are usually various internal meetings taking place throughout the day and, sometimes the meeting room is simply in front of the coffee machine. Given the collaborative culture of the company, if any question pops up, there is always a colleague that you can ask and is happy to help.
It definitely doesn’t get boring and I enjoy that pace is not always the same - it keeps things interesting.
The biggest challenges are making sure that the customer wants are concordant with their needs. Sometimes the two are not the same and, it’s our job to reduce the difference as much as possible.
It’s important to ensure that the requirements we collect and for which we implement solutions are accurate, that they are also practical and will meet the needs of the business. Sometimes the two are not the same and it’s our job to reduce the difference as much as possible.
It gives me an invaluable sense of achievement when I see the results of my work and the improvement that it brings to a customer's business. I enjoy the fact that I am able to continue learning things, and get a chance to push my limits and continue to grow as a professional, due to the collaborative culture of the company
I’m able to share my knowledge with my peers which is very rewarding. Boxfusion is formed of very capable people who are willing to help, collaborate and encourage you to be the best version of yourself and for me, this is the place to be.
I would tell them to be prepared to learn a lot. The company invests a lot of time in training and providing support for any new joiners. If you are willing to work in a diverse, collaborative and fast past environment that challenges your people skills and your technical abilities, then get in touch.
Enjoyable, Challenging, Rewarding.
I know it sounds cliché, but there really isn’t a typical day in the office.
Since joining as a Graduate in 2016 I’ve done a bit of everything from front-end solution design through to back-end development, so it really can vary.
However, I would say that I’ve developed a focus within my role in front-end design and development. This might involve, for example, designing and building out branded, User Experience (UX)-friendly solutions such as integrated web pages and customer portals that the customers of major brands get to see and use on a daily basis!
Working with so many different people from different clients and industries is an challenge as you need to tailor your approach for each individual and company, but I’ve found this keeps things interesting.
Another challenge is tailoring all the technical knowledge that you pick up during research in order to fit in with Oracle’s technology. It’s one thing to learn how to develop a custom built solution in isolation, but it’s another to apply it within a client’s unique technological architecture where you have certain boundaries set by the applications that form the solution.
I really appreciate the way that the company provides me with plenty of opportunities to achieve new goals, especially when they are always that little bit more challenging than the last. Comparing what I’ve been doing recently to what I did one and a half years ago, for example, I’ll have a set of tasks that are essentially similar to back then, but that are of greater complexity, for larger projects, and with much higher stakes.
Additionally, the company makes a conscious effort to select me for roles that will provide me with variety, giving me the opportunity to really push myself to build new skills rather than merely doing what I’ve done before, and this really motivates me.
Boxfusion is definitely a company you should consider if you thrive off of problem-solving and have a genuine ambition to get the job done to an excellent standard. What makes Boxfusion unique is our drive to push those boundaries even further by continuously honing our existing skills and refining our existing solutions while remaining open to new ways of thinking and problem-solving.
If your willingness to learn and desire to constantly improve is strong enough, the technical knowledge-gathering will proceed as a natural side effect, allowing you to really push yourself to develop your skills. A lot of the knowledge that you need to work here will be taught to you on the job. What’s important is that you have the ambition and self-drive to take that and make the most out of it.
