Promote the system across the business and with partner organisations, as and when necessary, to ensure full uptake and participation with the platform.
Create training materials and standardise processes and templates to enable more efficient use of the system across the business, allowing users to take greater ownership of their use of the system and the tools provided.
Provide ongoing guidance and support to system users and advocate best practice to ensure consistent and effective use of the system.
Utilise data analysis methods to present business areas with information and recommendations they can readily understand to enable evidence-based decision making and their improved use of the system.
Monitor, quality assurance and evaluate the ongoing use of the system, identifying and communicating appropriately any risks, issues and dependencies.
Understand and document the functional specification and technical capabilities of the system, in order to recommend system improvement opportunities and solutions based on best practice, user experience and the technical capabilities.
Act as critical support for the business in maintaining an effective working relationship with the provider as a part of it's contract management and ongoing commitment to proactive continuous improvement.
Act as critical support for the business in ensuring that budget management activity associated with the platform is properly informed, accurate and undertaken in a timely manner, liaising with partner organisations as needed.
