Approach

The PRISME Forum organizes 3 meetings each year (one in the Fall, the Spring, and at the end of the year) where members gather to share information about data and data management within their respective companies. XAOP has been working with the PRISME Forum to assist with some of this information exchange through the development of cloud-based software which helps to manage some of the information that is collected and shared. This provides an organized and structured platform that enables the members to share data in a uniform and secure way.

Results

The members have been very pleased with the results of the development effort managed by XAOP. Feedback has been very positive.

The results of this collaboration by XAOP with the PRISME Forum has allowed the consortium to spot and analyse trends in IT within their industry. An example of this was an examination of the industry’s move to the cloud. It became clear that companies were switching from on-premise infrastructure to cloud-based solutions and the members could examine the data collected on this topic to facilitate effective discussions.
