Save the Children International uses Microsoft Azure to bolster cross-border charity work

▤ Summary

For example, every member has a national identity (or brand), a standalone website and domain name, all underpinned by different Active Directory systems, which sometimes tripped employees up as they moved around the world.With its mission statement established, an initial scoping session followed “some time in 2016”, involving Save The Children International and the senior leaders from London-based cloud technical consultancy Amido, which would go on to become the delivery partner for the project.There were other projects that needed to be completed first, including a sizeable connectivity and infrastructure upgrade that was taking place across all Save the Children International sites, and there were budgetary and staffing issues to overcome.Hitting this drastically reduced deadline would require “throwing a lot more capacity at the problem”, and Kent, by his own admission, runs a relatively small IT department, which meant the organisation would be making full use of Amido’s in-house technical experts.Such fast-feedback mechanisms are central to the success of the agile and iterative approach that Save the Children’s organisations favoured during the project, making it easier for the teams to tweak their plans as and when needed.
