AWS Infrastructure

Monthly platform upkeep across the AOne AWS estate. Recent work includes Glue job upgrades and decommissioning across 12 jobs, Redshift cluster decommission, Transfer Family decommission, 9th tranche of region optimisation investigation, and Cost Explorer review.

Part of the ongoing cost-reduction and modernisation programme. Each tranche of region optimisation identifies underused resources and either right-sizes or decommissions them.

PIM Development & Data Services

Product Information Management system development and the data architecture underpinning the new MD operational dashboard. This is the work discussed in the weekly Friday meetings with Paul, Tomilson, Peter, and Guy.

The PIM feeds product data into Shopify and will ultimately supply the live data layer for the executive dashboard once the integration work is complete.

Dashboard goes live — Peter is connecting real data to the dashboard. Once integration is complete (expected Aug–Sep), the full executive dashboard will be in production use.

AI Opportunity Map workshop — Full session planned for the week of October 28. Prep work is done.

What we need from you

Dashboard data access — Peter needs access to certain live data sources to complete the integration. Any blockers here slow the timeline.
AI workshop confirmation — Confirm the exact date within the Oct 28–Nov 1 window so we can finalise logistics.
Reorder Feature feedback — If any issues come up during the beta window, raise them before August 3 so they can be addressed.
