THE BRITISH ARMY ’ S EXPANSIVE ESTATE

DID YOU KNOW ?

“ The challenge that Bruhati is helping us with is architecting so that we can have commonality across the entirety of what we do . We ’ ve been using the Alpha platform for a while , and we have some really good documentation in places like the Army hosting environment , but the two have never really come together . So we ’ ve asked Bruhati , and they ' ve begun to deliver some really good outcomes here to convert what we know about the Army hosting environment into an architectural product , which will allow us to monitor and maintain the Army hosting environment in a more coherent way ,” says Crossfield .
“ Working with Bruhati is good fun . They ' re reactive ; we ' ve been to them a couple of times now at very limited notice , with fleeting opportunities to use money , for example , at the end of the financial year – classic government department challenge – and Bruhati delivered every single time . So I rate them from that perspective , because that ' s not always easy to achieve with a commercial partner .
“ The product is very good . They ' re also very good at speaking in crystalclear English , if you will , about something that ' s impregnable . With Bruhati , we ' ve got real experts delivering high-quality architecture in our platform , which we value , but then also explaining to us in plain English what they ' ve done , what the value of that is and where we should go next . So it ' s been a good relationship .” technologymagazine . com 49
