Members of the Elemental team have worked with CLA over many years on a variety of projects to build, upgrade and improve core systems, to include the design of CLA’s largest core back-office system.
Additionally, the Elemental team has played a key role in the design and implementation of the Azure based cloud infrastructure that supports many of the CLA systems.
Today EC continue to be a key ‘go-to’ supplier of IT development services across a variety of CLA areas of operations.
Most recently Elemental has been engaged to work on a variety of technical POCs using the unique blend of skills, experience, and functional knowledge across the EC team. This includes a deep understanding of the core business challenge of improving the efficiency of the collection of data.
Recent deliverables include a technical POC to demonstrate how CLA can digitise the process of assessing how customers are copying and using copyrighted materials. This will ensure the rights holders (authors/publishers) receive the appropriate royalties for use of their content.
Through the development of the POC, Elemental demonstrated the ability to integrate with the software deployed on Customer (i.e. schools / colleges) photocopiers and automatically scan to a central service. Then, using OCR technology, scan the copied material to assess if it was copyrighted so that usage of the content could be assigned to the correct rights holders. (contd.)
