Helping DWP improve efficiency and standards

Commenting on the collaboration, Opencast’s head of software development David ‘Sarg’ Sarginson said: “In our world of ever-evolving technology and the public’s increasing expectation on government departments to provide excellent digital services, we have to make doing that quicker and easier to continue to meet those demands.

“The green zone enabling team is at the forefront of building the next generation of tools and frameworks to ensure our clients and consultants are focused on solving the hard problems and not wasting their time and effort recreating the wheel for every digital service.”

We share our learning with the wider tech world – and along with our DWP Digital colleagues we are presenting a breakout panel session at this year’s Dynamo North East digital conference.

The session, Helping DWP improve efficiency and standards, is on Wednesday 22 June at Northumbria University. Hosted by Susan Bell, Director, EBFN Consulting, the session features:

Adrian Green – head of engineering, DWP
David Sarginson - head of software development, Opencast
Tim Knight – lead developer, Opencast.

The 60-minute session shines a spotlight on the project and how it has helped build efficiency and benefit citizens moving forward.

It also shares lessons from the project and reflect on the success of the Opencast/DWP Digital partnership. It highlights the metrics used throughout the project – including speed improvement, reusability and maintenance, and explores how Opencast has shared knowledge gained through the project through steering groups and training sessions.
