To procure and support an enterprise data architecture solution for the council

 

Yes

Following LGR, the Council inherited a wide range of systems and data solutions, which restrict the Council’s ability to share and leverage value from of the information it holds. As we move forwards with our transformation journey it is vital the platform is both feature rich as well as robust and trusted.
The Council are seeking a flexible platform to deliver data capabilities, e.g. ingestion, transformation, links to corporate presentation tools, governance, etc. This will support immediate tactical benefits around convergence of data, but also longer-term strategic objectives around predictive analytics and the ability to forecast demand on services.
