BLC Labs / Focused tools & automation

Exploring small solutions to practical problems

Some useful business tools are difficult to justify as large technology projects. The work may be left undone or managed through increasingly complex spreadsheets. We explore focused alternatives, with the delivery environment suited to the information involved.

The starting point and the response

  1. 01A practical gap
  2. 02Explore a small solution
  3. 03Deploy DAM automation
  4. 04Operate & support

A space worth exploring

Planning tools and interim communications catalogues illustrate requirements where a focused application may be proportionate.

An example put into use

API automations have been deployed to supplement an existing digital asset management platform.

Continuing operation

We operate the deployed automation as part of our ongoing client support.

What we did

Our investigations have included planning tools, interim communications catalogues and platform automation. One implemented example extends a digital asset management platform through APIs: we deployed automations to supplement its built-in capabilities and continue to operate them for the client. We agree hosting, data handling and security arrangements with the client to suit the information involved.

The useful lesson

A small, well-defined solution can make worthwhile work practical. Exploration establishes whether it is useful; a deployed example shows how it can fit around existing technology.
