Infrastructure
Organisation wide ICT Transformation
Certa Testing consultants provided a managed test service for CNWL NHS Foundation Trust on their Strategic Infrastructure Programme. The transformation programme was rolled out to the entire Trust, at over 130 sites in and around London and Milton Keynes, reaching over 7000 employees working in Mental Health, Community Health, Sexual Health and Offender Care. The testing service delivered included System Integration, User Acceptance, Production Acceptance and finally Service Support testing. The breadth of technology deployment was large and testing was delivered against each of the following streams:
-
End User Device refresh
-
Application migration (Clinical and Business applications)
-
VDI Data Migration.
-
Unified Communications (Skype for Business and Lync Attendant)
-
Contact Centres (Nine centres in total including a 24/7 “Single Point of Contact” emergency support line)
-
Mobile Telephony (with Skype for Business)
-
Wi-Fi (Corporate, Service User and Guest)
-
Web Filtering
-
Multi Functional Devices
-
Remote Access Working
-
Single Sign On
-

In addition to the requirements for solid test management experience and expertise, the programme demanded careful engagement with business users and third party suppliers.
