What You’ll Be Doing:

CPS engaged Mobilise to embark upon a discovery/proof-of-concept for business intelligence/data warehouse over 4 years. This period was interspersed with multiple breaks whilst CPS re-prioritised and determined next steps.

Mobilise helped CPS gain a better understanding of the technology options suitable for the CPS’s desired technology roadmap/ecosystem by putting in place a proof-of-concept which showcased an end-to-end capability and vision of ‘what’ and ‘how’ CPS’s vision could be realised.

Working together and using an agile delivery methodology CPS gained a richer and deeper understanding of its own organisations data and learnt more about the Microsoft technology stack allowing them to improve their internal reporting and their understanding of their business.

CPS now wish to transform a PoC solution into a fully productionised and supported system.

This is anticipated to be achieved using one or more agile teams in a phased approach to deliver key technology deliverables on their enhancement journey.
