Strategic Supplier Partner

Tender description

Why the Work is Being Done NICE is running a major digital transformation programme which recognises the need to transform its product offering to the healthcare system whilst modernising its business processes and ways of working internally. Internal barriers to achieving this: - Lack of business, data and technology enterprise architecture approach to support strategic decision-making - Lack of appropriate digital tools and automation of processes leading to a high level of manual overhead NICE has procured Office365 and SharePoint Online and is looking to optimise business value and operational productivity by identifying how to make best use of these tools within a digital workplace environment. Problem to Be Solved A recent expert review assessed the maturity of our data-management practices as generally low. Key issues are: - the manual manipulation of data required in day-to-day tasks slows productivity with focus on doing and managing process rather than quality and content of work - the constrained ability to collaborate on data safely and securely is reinforcing siloed working that creates a significant overhead when trying to achieve a corporate view of data. - NICE has procured Office365 and SharePoint Online but the opportunities this offers aren’t fully explored. A vision and plan for creating a digital workplace are needed. Who Are the Users Senior management: understand how to develop effective enterprise architecture governance and decision-making so I can be assured that technical/data/applications solutions meet business direction and needs Corporate Governance team: understand how optimising use of digital tools can embed records management and information governance compliance so staff are empowered to collaborate safely and securely. Staff: a digital workplace environment that reduces the amount of manual overhead I currently have and unblocks some of the silos and collaboration constraints that exist across the organisation so that I can focus on my work content and quality rather than the tools and process management Early Market Engagement N/A Work Already Done N/A Existing Team Digital Services is a team of c. 60 digital professionals that design, develop and maintain NICE’s portfolio of digital services including the NICE website, Pathways and NICE Evidence Services.
