Public Sector case studies
Forest Research – A Modern Intranet Supporting Sustainable Forestry
Forest Research is the UK’s principal organisation for forestry and tree-related research, internationally renowned for the provision of evidence and scientific services in support of sustainable forestry. The organisation had an urgent requirement for a new Intranet to support its digital transformation journey.
Bridgeall successfully engaged with the internal Forest Research management team to deliver a Modern SharePoint Intranet including design, build, CMS, collaborative spaces, document management, governance, migration plan and post-launch support.
Bridgeall has subsequently provided governance and guidance around Office 365, Teams and SharePoint usage within the organisation.
Fair Start Scotland – Supporting Employment in Scotland
Fair Start Scotland (FSS) is Scotland’s employment support service providing assistance to those individuals ‘furthest from getting steady work’.
During the transition period from DWP, it became clear that a new Scottish IT system would be required to manage support and following a competitive tender, Bridgeall was appointed as the delivery partner for a new Scottish Employability Tracking Service (SETS).
Late delivery was not an option. The full project lifecycle – strategy, initiation, discovery, procurement, alpha, beta and transition to live service – had to be completed within 14 months; and at a fixed price. Working closely with FSS’s internal project team, and adopting an Agile approach, the Bridgeall software development team delivered on-time and under budget.
Cumbria County Council – SharePoint Document Management for the Public Sector
Cumbria County Council, headquartered in Carlisle, employs over 10,000 staff and delivers a range of strategic services to the people of the county.
The Council wished to take advantage of a move to new premises by digitising physical mail they received. By ascertaining which departments received the most mail, the metrics would enable the Council to help digitise public services, resulting in more efficient and cost effective range delivery.
Bridgeall utilised the Council’s existing on-premise SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Farm to deliver a digital delivery document management solution which combined out-of-the-box SharePoint components with custom development covering the more complex requirements.
Community Justice Scotland – Breaking the Cycle of Re-Offending
Community Justice Scotland (CJS) is the national body responsible for reducing re-offending. An efficient and effective system for offender management is critical to achieving the organisation’s vision of breaking the cycle of re-offending.
Bridgeall is responsible for the support and on-going development of the Offender Management System used by CJS, the Scottish Prison Service, 1,200 social workers and 100 psychologists across 32 Local Authorities. A Bridgeall team comprising a Senior Project Manager, Solution Architect and Software Engineers work collaboratively to develop and provide on-going support for Community Justice applications. A new updated version of the system is developed and released annually.
