MoD set to develop £50m data analytics platform with Kainos | Computer Weekly
Summary
The goals of that strategy included, by 2025, for data to be “curated, integrated, and human and machine-ready for exploitation” in the “battlespace” – and for it to be in second place only to Army, Royal Navy and RAF personnel. The platform is built on Amazon Web Services, and its stated aim is to democratise data access, standardise approaches and tooling, and encourage interoperability and sharing of best practice across the MoD. On the people side, it has worked with the Defence Digital organisation to create, according to a Kainos statement, skilled data teams to design and roll out end user applications on DDAP to support analytics and bespoke use cases. That activity continues under the new contract, and the vendor will liaise with end users on their specific data analytics requirements. “It is a great privilege to expand our partnership with the MoD to drive forward an evolution of how data analytics is used across UK defence,” said Brendan Mooney, CEO of Kainos.
