We will perform a high level of assessment of the needs and benefits of creating a Digital Twin considering the organisations current position and objectives to deliver a high-level plan for how a digital twin could be used effectively. A key element of this is to understand the Digital Twin Journey required and the appropriate level of maturity to start at and aim for. This could be from Reality Capture Visualisation to a fully automated Asset control, operations and maintenance Twin.
We work with our clients to develop any high-level Digital twin plans to build a specific Vision backing this up with a Strategy and Blueprint to evolve an effective Business Cases and benefits model. We also develop a Roadmap for delivering Use-Cases to help the client to direct investment most effectively.
Our design of digital twins is based on our experience of the wide range of Cloud Applications and Platforms. We work with the major vendors and have expertise in many specialist solutions. Our design work integrates multiple technical solutions, including data repositories, analytical tools and visualisation solutions. Design will address and align to the Strategy and Blueprint to ensure the Use Cases are fully realised. - Planning service works with specific services

We recognise some of the digital and cyber skills shortages facing the UK and are actively participating and promoting careers from school age children through to lifelong training. This is often delivered through STEM outreach schemes such as Governors for Schools programme and CyberFirst. This can include upskilling activities delivered by some of our highly skilled professionals ranging from interview and job preparation (e.g., CV support, Mock interviews) through to technical training (e.g., cyber security, digital skillset, STEM-based careers, supply chain engagement). We promote our full-time opportunities to priority groups based on the area of operation. (e.g., people living in regionally and nationally deprived areas /disabled people/ people who are underrepresented in the industry including Women, BAME, LGBT+ etc.).
We understand the opportunities a diverse supply chain can bring to complement our overall solution we are providing to our clients, such as innovation, improved productivity, novel or new technologies or niche skillsets. As a large organisation we have a large network of approved suppliers from diverse backgrounds including small and medium enterprises that we can utilise as required. These suppliers go through our due diligence process to ensure they meet our standards (i.e. around cyber security) and we are working with suppliers who share our values.Equal opportunity
