Notice Title

Heritage Hub Project

Notice Description

The Heritage Hub project seeks to maximise the value of our information for our internal and extenal users. Heritage Hub is not simply a technology solution. We are looking to transform the way our people, customers and citizens access the myriad of data sets we have available and to transform how people access HES digitally. We are looking for a partner who will help us develop this enhanced experience and implement the technology to support Heritage Hub. Access to our data is spread across a large number of sites and hosted in a number of back-end systems making it difficult to find all that we hold on any given historic place or subject. The data we hold is not easily searched from any single location, and it is difficult to search and navigate, with the same place or subject often called different names. Heritage Hub will be a user-centred project, focusing on joining and presenting all of our information in one place, in a way that is easy to use. The Digital Experience Platform will allow us to bring many of our services together, increase access and provide users (internal and external) an end-to-end journey in one place. It is not expected that these back-end systems will be replaced within the scope of this work
