6. ALISS technical update
• We’re reviewing all feedback from citizens, professionals,
academics and key stakeholders on our data structure and
the types of resources we should and could have.
• We have pushed live the “claim resource” feature and 5
resources claimed.
• We have pushed live a full version of our API product to
Wire (Renfrew HSCP – Well in Renfrewshire Community
Health and Wellbeing Partnership).
• We’re looking for support from front-end developers to
design and develop the look and feel of the website.

7. Data migration review
• From a total of 59,000 resources we removed all resources part of an integration.
• This left us with 25,000 resources. We removed: resources that didn’t have a full name, a
description and had multiple locations, no URLS and couldn’t be geocoded.
• This left us with 18,414 resources. We removed resources containing the words “costa”,
Starbucks”, resources not from Scotland, etc…
• This left us with 12,242 resources, we removed 1000’s of resources that were of a poor
quality and not relevant to our new approach.
• This left us with 8,500 resources (Phase 1). We obtained the support of 3 full time staff
working 5 days per week for 4 weeks to migrate the data. A total of 1,649 resources were
migrated. This work cost £9,800
• Using this approach it would cost a further £35,000 to migrate the remaining 6,851.

11. Situation
 ALISS has 1200+ users
with a log in.
 A wide and diverse
partnership portfolio
 Our engagement with
stakeholders tends to be
intensive but relatively
short (i.e. based defined
projects)
 We have a small core
team
 We host information about
thousands of resources –
this information needs to
be coproduced and
maintained
 We want to be proactive
and understand our
stakeholders motivations
and needs.

12.  Developing learning material to support an new
Accredited Associate programme (tailored to specific
professional / educational development frameworks)
 Developing new digital communication channels
 Developing our analytics and tracking protocols and
processes.
What we are doing

13.  What networks are you part of?
 Why did you join and what keeps you engaged?
 What makes a good network?
 What communication tools / channels work?
 We are interested in online tools – have you
experienced any good ones?
Group task

14.  Keep feeding back ideas and insights
 We are:
 Finalising the ‘road-map’ for the delivery of the next
