A Advanced Case Study
Marie Curie Cancer Care, a UK-based charity providing nursing care and hospices, faced a fragmented IT infrastructure that did not align with its operational goals. The challenge was to unify its systems to improve communication, centralize data, enable remote access, and ensure the charity obtained maximum value from its technology spending. They engaged vendor Advanced to design a solution based on Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services, SQL Server, and other technologies.
Advanced initiated a series of Business and Technical Forums to translate the charity's objectives into a detailed technical design and implementation plan. The solution standardized desktops and utilized Active Directory for a more cohesive infrastructure. The results included a clear strategic document linking business goals to IT, a finalized technical design, and a costed implementation plan. According to their IT Director, Advanced enabled Marie Curie to obtain the best value from its technology investment, which is critical for a charity.
