Software, digital & technical delivery

Improving ways of working

Our software, digital and technical delivery teams work across the development lifecycle, with experienced scrum masters, product owners, business analysts, testers, front-end and back-end software developers. We are tech agnostic and not confined to any one provider or solution. We work with customers to deliver agile transformation and improve ways of working. We have delivered multiple complex services to Government Digital Service (GDS) standards, from discovery through to live.

Tools and practices

Our developers have expertise in agile methodologies and eXtreme programming practices and use industry-leading programming languages, open-source frameworks, mark-up languages and operating systems. Our testers conduct functional, non-functional, regression and operational testing, harnessing the latest automated tools. And our business analysts work with stakeholders to drive process improvements through requirements gathering, analysis and process mapping. 

A sudden growth in demand for our online services required a rapid scale-up and a restructure of our architecture. Opencast was absolutely key to our success in managing that, with no unplanned downtime

Murray Ellender, chief executive

Thanks and congratulations to the team for all the hard work they’ve put in...they should be so proud of themselves to deliver with such challenging timelines. It’s a turbulent time for all so to keep on track is a real achievement

Opencast employees were very much part of the integrated and blended team that helped us… it was a real team effort…what’s really remarkable was that the solution was delivered in three weeks

The resilience, commitment and confidence of everyone has been incomparable. Everyone, across both the wider business and within technology involved in all elements of both the build and delivery of these projects and products have worked exceptionally hard in extraordinary times

We were delighted to receive a charity grant from Opencast. It has enabled us to continue our essential support work in providing free meals, emergency clothing, and emergency food parcels to struggling individuals and families

Insure the box

I love working at Opencast. The culture is amazing and the recognition the company gives for my work makes me want to push harder for our clients. I feel like I am directly responsible for the success of the company in my own way, which is nice!

The company handbook, Don’t Step Over the Milk, summed it up for me. It was a great insight into the way the company thinks and operates. It trusts you to do the job, it expects you to work hard and wants you to have fun.

Opencast team member

The culture is relaxed and laid back, but everyone works hard. Everyone is smart, intelligent, but also friendly and approachable. There’s no hierarchy here, and I feel I can take ideas and suggestions to anyone, whereas in my previous job this was often more difficult.

Opencast team member

I love the fact that personal development is important here.

When you land somewhere like this, the passion that other people have for what they do is so infectious that it can only help you positively.

Opencast team member

We’re a relatively small company, although we do some vital work for important clients. But we’re also a great company to work for, you very much feel part of the family.

Opencast team member

My favourite thing about working for Opencast is the freedom, and that Opencast encourages me to educate myself and spend money on my learning.

Opencast team member

Response to the new service has been positive … we’re already getting good feedback from users on how to apply their learning in the workplace
