Industries
Different industries have unique requirements, use different technologies and face diverse business pressures and competitive challenges. Capacitas understands these distinctions, and as demonstrated by the diversity of
Our Clients, we have the breadth of experience in your industry to provide tailored solutions to meet the needs of your business.
Banking and finance ICT systems typically consist of large national/global networks, with high transaction rates and stringent service continuity demands. Significant financial losses may arise from SLA breaches.
The telecommunications industry traditionally has a strong interest in the area of capacity and performance management. This is driven by the customer sensitivities to short call set up times and low latencies.
The Transport industry is a varied sector covering public transport, such as trains and buses, and private transport such as airlines and road haulage. All of these areas are in competition to some extent and are united by low margins.
The media and entertainment industry is typified by ICT systems with high bandwidth applications with stringent QoS requirements, real time broadcasting systems and a requirement for network services with capacity on demand
Government ICT systems often involve large national networks, with very large data and transaction volumes, comprising up to tens of millions of records. They often contain highly sensitive data with legal implications surrounding data loss and potential political implications of any ICT system failure due to insufficient capacity.
ICT systems used in the health industry typically require high levels of resilience. The clinical users expect the system to available all the time. This requires highly resilient IT infrastructure. Users expectations of health systems are for sub-second response times, especially in life threatening emergencies.
The retail industry is characterised by known periods of significant peak demand, many remote sites with customer facing, revenue generating systems and large-scale stock management, re-ordering, customer management and sales management applications.
In recent times the automobile industry has been a major advocate for the use of ICT. With the use of technology it has been possible to design and test new vehicles faster and more accurately, as well as integrate supply chains with suppliers in order to streamline production. These ideas have been successfully adopted by Capacitas for use in other industries including telecommunications, thereby demonstrating the power of technology and business processes in synchronisation.
The manufacturing industry has created many production management techniques, which are of use across a range of industries, from Materials Requirements Planning (MRP) to Just-in-Time (JIT) and the Theory of Constraints (TOC). To manage the increasingly aggressive production targets needed for profitability the manufacturing industry invests ICT. The use of technology has enabled Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD-CAM) to design, test and manufacture new products faster and more accurately, in addition to process efficiencies in the supply chain.
Typical characteristics of ICT systems used within the legal sector include geographically remote sites connected by large national/global networks and stringent data storage requirements including document image storage.
