The Challenge

A national policing service relied on a specialist legacy platform, but the internal team lacked the knowledge required to maintain and support the live environment. Security clearance requirements also prevented staff from accessing external training, making it difficult to develop capability while maintaining operational service levels.

The organisation needed to build specialist knowledge within its cleared team, strengthen live service support and reduce reliance on a small number of experienced individuals.

Our Approach

A security-cleared platform specialist joined the live service team to understand the gaps in day-to-day platform administration and support. Working with the technology provider, we turned those gaps into an in-house training programme that could be delivered inside the client's clearance constraints.

The role also covered live service oversight, including evening and weekend support. Fault reporting, operational procedures and tape management were reviewed while the team continued to support the live environment.

What We Delivered

The assignment delivered two platform courses for new and existing team members, backed by a skills gap analysis and targeted training plan. Fault reporting tools and procedures were improved, tape management processes were updated and a structured feedback loop was added to refine future training.

Out-of-hours support continued throughout, giving the client extra resilience while internal capability was being built.

Outcomes and Impact

Platform capability improved within the client's security-cleared team, reducing reliance on individual specialists and increasing confidence in supporting the live service. Clearer fault reporting and operational procedures helped issue resolution, while live service support protected continuity throughout the assignment.

The organisation was left with stronger internal capability to support the platform and maintain service levels over the longer term.
