As part of a wider programme, the RNLI Lifesaving Activity Reporting (LSAR) project has delivered an intuitive and user-friendly solution for the recording and management of an enhanced range of lifesaving activities, replacing use of the SAP Return of Service processes and enabling improved reporting and analytics. * The LSAR programme delivered the following key objectives:• Provides a robust, reliable and secure platform on Azure.• Enhanced the user experience by providing a user-friendly, web-based User Interface (UI) • Presents the user with tailored content and questions/answers in a logical progression, based predominantly on previous answers• Is based on the principles of incident-centric reporting, thereby enabling significantly improved reporting of activities undertaken by multiple Search and Rescue (SAR) units.• Is designed, where appropriate, to enable business users to update specific functions and underlying data, such as business rules, rather than relying on IT support• The range of activities to be covered by LSAR will provide additional data to the RNLI, which in turn will enable more informed decision making, both within the RNLI and in a wider external national and International context. (The LSAR System is used in the UK, Republic of Ireland and the Crown Dependencies.)• The solution provided foundation platform for later development which provided real benefits of improving efficiency and effectiveness and maximising the payback.* Wider organisational transformational and working practices• Adoption of Agile methodology and principles with in the RNLI from velocity management, sprint planning and backlog creation and reporting.• Introduction of Cloud infrastructure, capacity on demand, full automation and recovery with security controls and practices into the RNLI as organisation.• Enabling the RNLI to build Dev Ops capabilities and ‘Live Support Operations’ to support the platform and Live incidents.
