ABOUT THE CLIENT

Background

Secto Services, a leading telecommunications and critical infrastructure firm, faced mounting challenges as their operations expanded across Ireland and the UK. Managing complex engineering projects required consolidating data from multiple GIS mapping systems, project management tools, and field operations platforms.

CHALLENGE

The Challenge

Data inconsistencies affecting project timelines
Limited real-time visibility across operations
Growing technical debt from legacy data management practices

"Our teams were spending valuable engineering time on data administration rather than delivering projects," notes Brian Roche, Head of Design at Secto Services. "We needed a modern enterprise data architecture that could scale with our growth."
