Job summary
Over the past few years the SCW Innovation team has been developing and refining its Data Architecture and Business Intelligence Review framework and assessment. This has resulted in the development of a new service offering from SCW which is designed to enable the NHS and its partners to understand the infrastructure and architecture of its systems and identify the target architecture needed to deliver greater collaboration, efficiencies, and enhanced business intelligence functions.
