Linebreak and New Icon join forces to deliver innovative real-time solutions

Linebreak UK, a leader in enterprise real-time solutions, is pleased to announce a merger with New Icon, specialists in design-led software and AI engineering. The merger will create a focused capability enabling enterprises to become real-time businesses for efficiency and growth in a fast-moving, distributed world.  

Bristol-based New Icon brings 15+ years’ experience in delivering ambitious IoT, digital and AI solutions through agile design-thinking and engineering. Linebreak leverages decades of architecture expertise and a unique technology ecosystem, enabling enterprises to harness distributed and edge AI solutions.  

Linebreak CEO, Dolo Miah, explained, “together Linebreak and New Icon will deliver the next generation of innovative AI-driven solutions for intelligent, real-time decisioning - critical for enterprises to successfully navigate in a dynamic global landscape.” 

Modern enterprises must be agile and real-time to thrive 

A recent MIT | CISR study found businesses that excel in real time have 62% higher revenue growth and 97% higher profit margins.  

Real-time businesses address critical events wherever and whenever they occur across their enterprise. The challenge is that enterprises are inherently distributed, yet they rely heavily on centralised clouds.  

In an increasingly dynamic world, time to value is more critical than ever. Enterprises need agile and flexible solutions that deliver in days, not months.  

Linebreak and New Icon will address these challenges by complementing cloud with distributed and edge computing and agile, design-thinking-led engineering to deliver rapid business impact. 

"At New Icon, we're excited to join forces with Linebreak UK to shape the future where AI, real-time data, and edge computing converge. Most organisations don’t have a data problem—they have a gap in their ability to make rapid, real-time decisions.  

By combining real-time processing with intelligent automation at the edge, we’re building systems that empower organisations to sense, decide, and act with unprecedented agility. This partnership brings our clients closer to the future: responsive, adaptive, and AI-powered by design."
