Technology assessment and remediation for National Highways
National Highways was moving its digital capabilities into its Digital Service organisation. Before anything moved, someone had to establish what was in the estate, where the risks sat and who would own each system next.
We assessed the technology landscape, identified the gaps and built a remediation plan with a preferred solution for every system in scope.

Move the estate without moving its problems with it
National Highways aimed to transition its digital capabilities to the Digital Service organisation. That needed a detailed assessment of the existing technology landscape: what was there, where the gaps were, and a remediation plan with a preferred solution for each system in scope.
The goal was a seamless transition that also dealt with the inefficiencies and technical challenges already in the estate, rather than handing them on to the team taking it over.
Assess, design, then agree it at the top
The project began with an in-depth evaluation of the technology stack, identifying outdated systems, security risks and integration challenges. From that came a structured remediation plan built on practical, sustainable solutions.
