The company seeks to develop a technical capability around the integration, management and analysis of very large data sets – aka “Big Data”. This capability is needed to support strategic initiatives in the areas of Intelligent Mobility, Strategic Asset Management and Digital Engineering – all of which produce and potentially consume, very large volumes of data.

Our client, one of the world’s leading engineering corporations, has recently defined a unified organisational strategy. To support this strategy, it has defined an operating model for 2020 to revolutionise the way GIS is provided to the organisation, moving from a BAU focus to a Business Value driven organisation.
Key concepts include: moving to digital products, adopting agile across the organisation, leveraging cloud, and focus on supporting bid and delivery.
