Case studies

From our Strategy and Architecture workNational Policing Client

A strategy the organisation could actually deliver

As part of a major IT Live Services transformation programme, our team helped the client develop and initiate implementation of a new strategy that was beneficial for, and achievable by, the organisation.

Working closely alongside client teams, we helped prioritise and set out the roadmap of work to achieve near term benefits that would also form the foundations for their longer term operational vision.

“I have used [the Devsultants team] as a sounding board in a number of areas where strategy has been lacking and we have to make decisions in ambiguous circumstances - very much amongst the best in terms of willingness to own the problem and act in the best interests of the client.”

From our Strategy and Architecture workCentral Government Client

An architecture that kept delivery on time through major change

Working closely with a blended team of platform and application suppliers, our team developed the overall architecture for a major new operational capability for the client.

In order to facilitate the client’s requirement to have early access to some of the capabilities, the architecture was designed with multiple MVP transition states to align with the envisioned growth in usage over time.

As a result of subsequent (and substantial) environmental changes, the architecture required further modification, but our team was able to work in an agile way with the client and other suppliers to modify and update the architectural transition states, and maintain alignment with the required timeframes for delivery of the new capabilities, to help ensure that the client and their partner organisations could achieve the desired benefits.

Having engaged with stakeholders and drawn on the information available, the team were able to quickly produce an Outline Business Case to secure funding for the necessary work. Having secured the funding, our team also set up the PMO functions to allow the delivery team to hit the ground running and ultimately complete the transformation successfully.
