On time, zero disruption, across a 3-way separation
INFRASTRUCTURE SEPARATION · DISCOVERY TO DELIVERY
As part of Pepco Group’s wider Technology Independence programme, Dealz needed to execute a complex technical separation from the Poundland organisation.
The Challenge
Dealz was heavily dependent on Poundland for core infrastructure and operational technology — hosting, networks, identity, and end-user services — creating operational risk, cost opacity, and limited autonomy. There was no validated future-state architecture, limited internal capability to run a complex multi-party separation, and multiple stakeholders across Dealz, Pepco, and Poundland with competing priorities.
What Enably Did
Enably was engaged to run the programme end-to-end, taking full accountability for discovery, planning, and governance. We established the programme governance model — planning, reporting, RAID management, and decision cadence — and led a structured discovery across every critical technology domain. Through stakeholder workshops and technical validation, we defined an agreed future-state architecture balancing speed, cost, and operational resilience, then translated it into a phased, executable delivery roadmap with timelines, resourcing, and cost models.
The Outcome
- Delivered on time and in line with the agreed plan, with no material issues or unplanned disruption to business operations
- Strong governance and control maintained across Dealz, Pepco, Poundland, and third-party suppliers
- A validated and approved roadmap to full technology independence
- Improved confidence in delivery timelines, costs, and partner capability
