Performance and Capacity Modelling

"We engaged Capacitas for three main reasons: firstly as they were truly vendor-independent, unencumbered from any existing toolset, they were able to provide a flexible, tailored solution; secondly, they were adaptable and able to work closely with the internal easyJet team; and thirdly, their status as an independent training provider gave us confidence in their skills transfer abilities.

Our confidence in Capacitas was well placed; they were happy to commit the considerable time and energy that a dynamic company like easyJet requires of its suppliers. Problems were resolved innovatively, quickly and professionally, minimising any impact to the project timeline.

Having proven their ability to provide professional, effective consultants, often at short-notice, we have formalised our relationship with Capacitas, extending their coverage to other key IT systems. Without a doubt this relationship has proven successful for both parties. Engaging with Capacitas has given us the confidence in the scalability and performance of our key IT services that we need to meet our continued growth strategy."

Andy Caddy, Head of IT Services, easyJet

"Capacitas assisted us in creating a demand model to enable us to forecast various usage scenarios. This has allowed us to predict potential peak demand for the Livestation broadcast over broadband platform. Working to a demanding deadline, based on our initial input assumptions, Capacitas was able to provide us with a model that has proved invaluable for our operational planning and financial forecasting."

David McAdam, Head of Program Management & Operations, Livestation

"We required a fresh and innovative approach to identifying the capacity requirements of a critical customer facing, high value business service. Following rigorous evaluation of several options Capacitas were engaged to deliver a model that would enable both architects and developers to explore various hardware and database scenarios. Also visibility of any constraints needed to be identified through appropriate alerting mechanisms within the model.

Throughout the project Capacitas consultant identified and engaged with relevant functions within the business in a positive and creative manner, whilst demonstrating flexibility of both thought and approach. A comprehensive training programme for usage of the model, complemented by extensive documentation and evidence from interviews and analysis, completed the picture.

Capacitas remained fully focused on achieving the required outcome ultimately exceeding customer expectation. I look forward to once again being in a position to consider calling upon Capacitas expertise in this field."

Graeme Chalklin, Capacity Manager, IT Operations, T-Mobile

"Capacitas delivered an effective capacity-planning model that has enabled 51° to optimally develop and deploy a leading edge Metropolitan SDH platform throughout London critically saving time and money. The model, whilst intended to be used specifically within engineering, has also opened up new avenues within Marketing for trending and analysis. Capacitas have proved to be extensively knowledgeable within the areas of planning and design directly benefiting 51°."

Neil Smith, System Design & Technology Manager, 51°

Performance Analysis

"Capacitas were engaged at very short notice (48 hours notice). Scottish Water required external assistance to investigate performance issues within 2 key corporate production applications, one of which is unique to the utilities sector and as such, presented quite a different challenge to Capacitas.

Tight deadlines review needed to be completed within 3 weeks, with solid conclusions and recommendations.

The exercise was conducted in a professional and structured manner. As a result, the work was completed within the timescales specified and the conclusions clearly communicated and reported. As a true sign of professionalism, there was a high degree of follow through even after exercise was completed at no cost !!

The recommendations provided by Capacitas are now being followed up within Scottish Water as a matter of urgency. Therefore, I have no hesitation in recommending Capacitas to other companies our endorsement is simple we will use them again!"

Racquel Murray, Head of IT Development Programme, Scottish Water

Operational Research

"Capacitas had already successfully engaged with the business on statistical modelling and understood easyJet and its working pressures. Therefore their staff could quickly step in and assist us with our modelling requirements in the crew establishment arena.

By predicting the daily variations in crew availability, efficiency savings could be realised. easyJet operates in an extremely competitive market where effective planning, enhanced through our relationship with Capacitas, translates into reductions across our crew cost base."

Neil Doherty, Manager of Crew Establishment, easyJet
