Anchor is a large housing and care association providing services to residents in over 1000 locations. We have embarked on an ambitious technology strategy that puts people at the centre of technology transformation. To this end we have developed a technology foundation based on Microsoft?s hosted services that delivers a customer and colleague portal. We have introduced agile and DevOps methodologies during this implementation and intend to continue to use these methods to further develop additional features and capabilities on this platform.

In addition, we have implemented a Data Lake using standard Microsoft Azure technologies. This is being used to consolidate data from several sources allowing us gain insights through all our data in a single consistent way.

We are looking for a Partner with extensive experience in delivering high quality software solutions in an outsourced agile manner and will be willing to work within the constraints of the tools, processes and standards that Anchor have defined. Key to the success of this relationship will be clear communications, structured processes for delivery and strict adherence to Anchor?s processes including meeting all QA and Testing requirements.

Standard/Qualifications of the Partner should include:

a. Agile Methodology

b. Azure DevOps

c. Technology?s: React (native and web), c# .net, Python, Kubernetes, Azure Data Factory, Data Bricks
