Client and portfolio context
Lloyd’s is a specialist insurance and reinsurance marketplace, bringing together insurers, brokers and coverholders. The engagement was an enterprise procurement rather than a verified installation at a named Lloyd’s building. That setting brings several operating perspectives into the discussion, with technology needing to fit an organisation that supports a wider market community.
Smart technology scope
Define a service that can stand up to enterprise procurement
For an organisation of this kind, a smart workplace proposal needs to explain its intended service, system dependencies and operating responsibilities. The procurement discussion should establish the user experience, information and permissions involved, alongside the support and evidence required for a subsequent delivery decision.
- Clear workplace use cases and a defined service boundary.
- Technology dependencies, information permissions and responsibilities.
- Delivery assumptions, support arrangements and acceptance evidence.

- Support for the enterprise procurement process.
- Client engagement around the proposed workplace technology service.
