Planning

• Planning service: Yes
• How the planning service works: The planning phase for Data Architecture involves a thorough analysis of the current IT landscape and business processes to pinpoint inefficiencies and identify areas for improvement. Collaborative workshops with key stakeholders are conducted to gather requirements and align the architecture with business goals. This stage also includes defining the technology stack, selecting appropriate integration patterns, and establishing performance benchmarks. A detailed roadmap is crafted, specifying the phases of implementation and milestones, to ensure a structured rollout of the new architecture. Risk assessment is integral to this phase, providing strategies to mitigate potential issues during the transition. By the end of the planning stage, we ensure that all parties have a clear understanding and agreement on the project scope, timeline, and expected outcomes.
• Planning service works with specific services: No

Training

• Training service provided: Yes
• How the training service works: Training is essential to maximize the effectiveness of the new Data Architecture. Comprehensive training programs are developed for different user groups within the organization, including IT staff, end-users, and management. These programs cover operational procedures, system management, troubleshooting techniques, and best practices for maintaining system health. Training sessions utilize a blend of theoretical instruction and practical, hands-on exercises tailored to the specific features and functionalities of the new system. Post-training, ongoing support is provided to address any arising issues and to help users adapt to the new architecture. Additionally, we offer periodic refresher courses and updates on new features and technologies to keep all users proficient and up-to-date.
• Training is tied to specific services: No

Setup and migration

• Setup or migration service available: Yes
• How the setup or migration service works: Setting up the new Data Architecture involves configuring the necessary infrastructure, which includes servers, storage systems, and networking equipment tailored to meet the designed specifications. We systematically migrate business applications and data to the new architecture, ensuring compatibility and minimal disruption to ongoing operations. This process is supported by rigorous data integrity checks and validation to ensure that no data is lost or corrupted. We also establish secure, efficient connections between components to facilitate seamless data flow and access. The migration phase is carefully managed through a series of incremental steps, each followed by thorough testing to confirm that business functions are fully operational at each stage.
• Setup or migration service is for specific cloud services: No

Quality assurance and performance testing

• Quality assurance and performance testing service: Yes
• How the quality assurance and performance testing works: Quality assurance for Data Architecture is critical to ensure the reliability and performance of the system meet the planned objectives. This involves continuous testing throughout the implementation process, including unit testing, integration testing, and system testing to identify and resolve issues early. Performance testing is conducted to verify that the system meets the speed, scalability, and stability requirements. Security testing forms a crucial part of QA, aiming to fortify the architecture against potential threats and vulnerabilities. Additionally, compliance testing ensures that the solution adheres to industry standards and regulatory requirements. Feedback loops are integrated to facilitate ongoing improvements, making QA a continuous aspect of the architecture lifecycle.

  Fighting climate change

  We are committed to further reducing our carbon footprint aiming to be carbon neutral by 2050, in line with the Climate Change Act 2008. Work from home; Our team are predominantly home based providing a reduction in emissions linked to travelling to and heating or powering the premises. IT Infrastructure: Scrumconnect has no on-premise server infrastructure with all our services being cloud based with AWS. AWS will be powered by 100% renewable energy by 2025. Cycle to work scheme: To reduce the carbon footprint of employees travelling to the premises we have an established cycle to work incentive.

  Covid-19 recovery

  Scrumconnect are committed to providing tangible community benefits for the public sector and driving social change through programs recognised for delivering results for underrepresented and disadvantaged groups. Scrumconnect Cloud has recently launched Scrumconnect Academy, which aims to provide free training and mentorship to retrain people from industries affected by Covid19 to become cloud native experts (Candidates recently made redundant, unemployed individuals with outdated skills, disadvantaged youths, veterans and military spouses and disabled people). Scrumconnect Academy will aim to tackle the misrepresentation of women (make up 26% of tech roles) and Black, Asian or minority ethnic backgrounds (make up 15.2% of tech roles) by focusing recruitment on these underrepresented groups. Additionally, Scrumconnect run 'Get Certified Challenges' periodically where we organised free bootcamps and training materials with AWS to fund exams for those affected by Covid19.

  Equal opportunity

  We will: Ensure equitable treatment of employers, contractors and the communities integral to our value chain by implementing fair employment and equal pay practices Offer high-quality training and job creation initiatives specifically designed to empower individuals who face barriers to employment or come from deprived areas. Example: We welcomed two new starters via Disability Rights UK and in the past year we've seen more than 25% of our new hires originating from ethnic minority backgrounds via Diversifying groups Establish an inclusive work environment aided by our transparent HR policies that apply consistently from the recruitment process through promotion and compensation, benefiting both contractors and employees.

We do a half yearly survey of staff engagement and bring in new policies/address needs based on the feedback. We conduct specific initiatives to promote healthy work environments. For e.g.: In times of COVID when people are connected remotely activities like virtual coffee mornings and community forums We have a well defined charter defining roles and responsibilities, job descriptions, work hours, flexible working options provided to every personnel as part of their onboarding process . Employee charter specific for this opportunity will be shared to clients prior to the start of the engagement.
