Who we are
Founded by Simon Friling, a senior professional from Oxford Computer Consultants — developers of the ContrOCC system — SiKol was built on a simple idea: local authorities deserve expert, end-to-end support without the corporate overhead.
Our methodology deploys the most skilled specialist for each project phase, maximising value at every stage.
ContrOCC, Liquidlogic LAS and Civica Cx — covering social care finance and regulated services across virtually any UK local authority setup.
Every engagement is tailored to your authority's specific needs — from a single report to a complete system migration.

End-to-end support across the full social care finance lifecycle, tailored to your authority's needs.
