Client background

Our client supports efforts to combat child exploitation by uniting key stakeholders from multiple organisations. Their integrated approach strengthens collaboration at all levels, maximising expertise and resources to protect vulnerable children.

The challenge

To support ongoing investigations, the organisation developed a central case intelligence database, enabling cooperation across multiple partner organisations. Recognising an opportunity to improve access and streamline collaboration, they set out to expand the system’s reach.

This required careful planning, broad stakeholder engagement, and the right technical expertise to avoid disruption to critical frontline work.

Our approach

We worked closely with the organisation to support the expansion and rollout of the enhanced database. Our support focused on:

  • Business analysis: Engaging stakeholders to define needs and ensure the system met operational requirements.
  • Change management: Facilitating clear communication between teams and supporting a smooth transition.
  • Implementation support: Assisting with integration to deliver a user-friendly experience with minimal disruption.
  • IT architecture as a service: Providing long-term architectural guidance to ensure the system was scalable, secure, and interoperable with other platforms.

Outcomes and benefits

The enhanced database is now a key tool for organisations working to protect children:

  • Smarter case management: Improved tracking, categorisation, and preparation of digital evidence.
  • Stakeholder collaboration: Multiple organisations can contribute , improving intelligence sharing.
  • Operational efficiency: A more unified system allows faster identification of patterns, helping frontline teams act sooner.
