Technology can range from bespoke for a specific purpose, or a standard off the shelf digital tool or application. It may be deployed in the field as part of a program delivery (front office) or form part of the program development cycle (back office). Similarly, it could also focus on an enabling technology required to allow further digital developments e.g. connectivity, infrastructure changes etc. Bringing these together and maximising benefit from evolving AI technologies to support programme delivery, data and analytics, operational delivery etc. in a single unit, drives quality delivery and ensures a fully joined up approach.
