About Us

Megargy Technology Works was borne out of necessity and frustration with the cost and complexity of technology we needed to support Babylon.

In several areas, the market already offered capable products, but they were often designed for much broader requirements than ours. That meant more functionality and configuration than we needed, with pricing that was hard to justify for the relatively modest requirements and usage of a startup.

So we developed products to address those needs, with enough flexibility from the outset to be useful beyond Babylon.

Our approach is deliberately simple. Our products are designed to solve specific problems well, with sensible defaults and standardised configuration rather than extensive customisation. Our own day-to-day use continues to shape their development, helping us keep them simple to set up, straightforward to configure and easy to use. By avoiding unnecessary complexity, we can also keep our prices appropriate for startups and smaller companies.

Megargy Newsletter Service grew from a simple requirement: automatically turn an RSS feed into an email newsletter for people who preferred to receive website updates by email. The signup page and newsletter itself needed to look polished, while remaining easy to set up and configure, including details such as the date format.

Megargy Helpdesk Service grew from the same approach: provide the capabilities needed to manage customer support without the complexity of a large helpdesk platform.

We expect Megargy Technology Works to continue in the same way, developing practical technology to solve problems we encounter ourselves and making it available when others can benefit from it too.

Megargy Technology Works is a trading name and operating division of Babylon Financial Technology Ltd.
