Data, Analytics & Reporting · 2026-09-11

By go-live the Home Affairs content team were able to populate and publish their COVID-19 content effectively. Annex's published capability model brings those concerns together so that a decision in one area does not quietly create a problem somewhere else in the service or platform.
