We recently hosted ‘Techfest’, a collaborative event to support Specsavers’ evolving strategic needs. Demonstrating cutting-edge solutions enables our clients to stay ahead and adaptable in an unpredictable industry landscape.  

Watch highlights from the day here: 

 

Mike Fordham, BJSS Service Lead for Platform, kicked off by sharing how to leverage cloud technology to deliver rapid changes and create a platform for continuous improvement. He followed on with a deep dive into engineer for change, highlighting strategies to maintain agility. 

With the adoption of AI across the software lifecycle, the team demonstrated how AI- driven measures and operations drive performance improvements. Breakout sessions covered key themes including centralised data models, AI usage in software development and modern architectural patterns such as edge computing, modular monoliths and event-driven architectures. 

The event highlighted BJSS's extensive experience and revolutionary application of AI in the healthcare sector, offering insights into how businesses can actively engage and contribute to the ongoing transformation of healthcare. 

“We get so much value from working with BJSS; from days like today where we can get some further insight from what's going on in the industry and how we can apply that back to our business to the day-to-day working with the team.  

The specialisms that they bring in to work alongside Specsavers help us deliver the business outcomes that we need to achieve.”  

Faye Longden, Global Head of Product, Specsavers

Techfest offered Specsavers insights behind innovative solutions and future technology trends. The event fostered a sense of collaboration, bringing together talent individuals from both organisations to help address current challenges and build excitement for future opportunities.  

This type of event is just one of the ways we support clients beyond delivery, to future proof their business.
