    Transforming our tech

    Our Insight Technology function is located in Manchester, with the development capability comprised of product-focused teams, wholly responsible for the development and operational health of their applications and services.

    We empower developers to achieve sustainable change for the business by keeping current on technology and approaches: utilising the latest language, tooling, platform offerings in .NET; moving towards Azure Kubernetes Services to orchestrate our containerised workloads; bringing in GitHub Enterprise for SaaS-hosted CI/CD; and continuing to automate.

    We continue to modernise our software estate into service-based architectures, but this just the first step. We are looking to the next phase in how design and deliver our bespoke solutions, to underpin the future ambitions of the business.
