Telco & Media
For telecommunications and media companies, Endava has a demonstrable track record of successfully delivering projects that help to reduce operational costs, facilitate business agility to launch new products faster and provide a robust, highly-available technology infrastructure.
Successful deliveries include a highly-performant messaging hub for Cable & Wireless, group-wide server consolidation for ITV, management of a streaming system in 3G networks for a multimedia and content provider in US with clients worldwide, and application development, testing and support for Cision, a global media organisation, which continues to have a Nearshore team of over 45 Endava staff.
Endava’s Telco&Media practice is tuned to the specific needs of organisations in these sectors, in particular the difficulties of balancing competitive pressures with the need to maintain high-quality standards, the typically cyclical demands on IT resources, and the importance of developing new products while supporting and maintaining the existing products.
The nature of these industries and the speed that the markets move means that the requirements of new projects tend to be fluid, making them unsuitable for the traditionally process-driven and resource-intensive offshore delivery models. Endava’s Telco&Media practice addresses this using our agile, ‘blended’ Nearshore delivery model which leverages the optimum mix of talent and experience from our UK and Eastern European delivery centres.
Using Endava’s extended teams, our customers typically benefit from significant cost savings, while still using highly-skilled senior IT professionals with experience of delivering quality, on time and within budget. Endava’s extended teams also enable customers to reassign internal resources to other projects, allowing them to achieve more.
“The Endava team has worked as an integral part of the Cable & Wireless project, enabling us to respond very rapidly to customer demands and, importantly, keep our service promises to them.”
John Candish, Technical Director, C&W Carrier Services
“Due to the strength of the relationship, knowledge and insight into our IT environment and corporate culture, we knew we could rely on Endava to provide the level of development, support and testing facilities we needed to make our new platform a reality. The fully integrated platform enables us to share best practice, further enhance customer services, and improve our competitiveness by reducing the time to market when launching new global services and applications. Compared to working with local contractors in this market, we have been able to deliver the new platform for 25 per cent of the cost by using Endava.”
Ulf Magnusson, SVP, CIO, Cision Worldwide
“We replaced hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of [Unix] servers with about half the number running Linux, at a capital cost below our annual maintenance bill, and got a 20-30 per cent performance gain. We are seeing savings of over 30% compared to what it used to cost us. There are no hidden costs for us as we have outsourced our system – the cost is what we see on the bill at the end of each month.”
