Case Study: British Army JV achieves a secure IT transformation with Project One

British Army JV goes live in a 3-day cutover with Project One

The British Army's new Joint Venture defence manufacturing organisation faced a significant challenge: it needed to carve out and transform its entire IT estate from its parent company to establish a standalone, accredited capability. This complex transformation involved moving to a new greenfield network and data centre, implementing a new ERP solution, and deploying a new Product Lifecycle Management system to manage complex engineering data. The JV lacked the internal programme and change management resources and experience for a project of this scale, so it engaged Project One to lead the portfolio.

Project One provided experienced programme and project management to shape the IT solution, establish governance, and oversee the delivery. They led the supplier ramp-up, provided an "intelligent customer" function, and steered both the JV and its IT service provider towards a successful outcome. The result was a smooth transition onto a new, accredited IT platform that did not hinder critical business operations. Project One delivered the infrastructure and systems the JV needed to deliver industrial manufacturing of military vehicles, providing full control of the IT solution stack to support its growing business.
