"By centralising data and automating processes, Morta has transformed our information management, ensuring compliance and enhanced collaboration across our vast estate."
- Jeanine Gavigan, Senior BIM Manager @ Ministry of Justice
The results
• Data Standardisation: Centralised data using a consistent, data-centric approach, achieving greater standardisation across projects. • Process Automation: Automated previously manual processes, such as the derogation process, significantly reducing resource demand. • Enhanced Collaboration: Improved multi-disciplinary teamwork between internal teams and external partners like Mace. • Compliance and Visibility: Met government policy objectives (TIP 2030) and adhered to ISO 19650 standards, ensuring transparent and auditable data flows.
The problem
• Inconsistent Data Usage: Variability in data usage across stakeholders led to inefficiencies. • Legacy Systems: Outdated systems were not built to meet modern information management standards. • Fragmented Information: Data was housed in multiple disconnected systems, complicating access and management. • Compliance Pressures: The need to comply with government policies, such as TIP 2030, and modern standards like ISO 19650.
The solution
The MoJ introduced Morta as an integration layer to connect various data streams and stakeholders without replacing existing systems. This approach consolidated information from design, construction, and operations teams into a central platform, standardising processes and introducing automation to create a "golden thread" of information.
The implementation
Morta was implemented through two primary workstreams: • Technical Standards Transformation: Rationalised and digitalised outdated standards by consolidating duplicative content (reducing it by 86% to 17,000 lines), and improved searchability and cross-linking of standards. • Information Management: Led by Senior BIM Manager Jeanine Gavigan, this workstream transitioned MoJ’s data management from traditional Excel-based tools to a modern, database-centric approach, enabling real-time KPI tracking and improved accessibility. Together, these initiatives have streamlined data management, enhanced collaboration, and set the stage for future digital advancements at the MoJ.
