category:
Cat and Mouse / BBC
Case Study
Propona have been working with Cat and Mouse for several years and have provided
them with a number of software solutions during this time. These projects
include the provision of software for the BBC's election coverage in 2005 and
2007.
Propona provided a suite of complex applications for use during the BBC’s live local
election coverage both in Northern Ireland and Wales. Building on the successes
of a similar project in 2005, Propona supplied software to manage the raw data entry
and calculation of election results for BBC Northern Ireland’s coverage of the Northern
Ireland Local Elections. The data entry system allowed multiple operators
to enter results concurrently while the sophisticated calculationengine provided
real time data to an on air graphics system for the live BBC television coverage
and to BBC Online simultaneously .
In addition, Propona provided a “state of the election” results web site for internal
BBC use which reported voting data broken down by constituency, party and candidate.
The site also looked for interesting voting trends such as votes moving away from
traditional parties.
An administration web site was also supplied to allow BBC staff to enter details
of all constituencies, candidates (with their images) and parties running in the
elections and to review data from the last election to ensure that swing and change
statistics would be calculated correctly.
Careers Wales Cardiff and the Vale
Case Study
Careers Wales Cardiff and the Vale provide careers guidance to young people.
The organisation is required to perform and annual, data intensive quality
self-assessment and approached Propona to develop an online system for use throughout
the entire organisation.
