2e2, a leading provider of mission-critical IT services, has today announced a new contract win with television research company, RSMB Television Research Ltd that will see it significantly develop existing business and IT applications.
Newbury, 12 June 2008 – 2e2, a leading provider of mission-critical IT services, has today announced a new contract win with television research company, RSMB Television Research Ltd that will see it significantly develop existing business and IT applications. This work will enable RSMB to meet the requirements of a new contract from BARB (Broadcasters’ Audience Research Board Ltd) to deliver an enhanced audience research service by 2010.
2e2 has worked with RSMB to map the research requirements within the new BARB contract onto an appropriate business solution, both in terms of the applications and the supporting infrastructure. The conclusion to this process was for RSMB to award a contract to 2e2 for both consultancy and for further hardware and software licences to be procured. The whole project will take eight months to deliver, at which time RSMB will undertake a six month parallel run in 2009 with a view to the new solution being fully live from 2010.
“2e2 was chosen for this particular contract as a result of its proven experience in this field and its credibility in the marketplace,“ said Andy Chapman, IT Director at RSMB. “Timely delivery and accuracy of data are crucial to RSMB and to our client BARB, which provides the television industry with the audience estimates on which it depends. Oracle applications are at the core of this and 2e2 has superb Oracle skills, accreditations and experience. This combined with the impressive technical abilities of the consultants made 2e2 an easy choice as our partner for this project.”
“Having worked with RSMB eighteen months ago, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to do so again, particularly as the work we are doing will contribute to the success of their latest contract with BARB,” said David Kirby, Managing Director of the Business Solutions division, at 2e2. “We are proud of our Oracle experience and knowledge and the fact that this has been a major contributor in RSMB’s decision to use 2e2 for this project really endorses this.”
