Opportunity to partner
• Technology – both OCLC and British Library introducing new platforms/ways of working. Web Services/APIs allow OCLC and BL’s platforms to work together seamlessly
• Business model – BL introduced differential pricing enabling supply of born digital material at a much lower cost
• Driven by customer requirements – understand the frustrations of the current workflow and a desire by both organisations to integrate workflows to meet customer requirements

Working collaboratively
• Initial meeting – scope and commitment
• Agree timescales and schedule available technical resource
• Challenges – based in UK (2 sites) and US
• Joint project team with single agreed project plan across both organisations
• Fortnightly meetings – changed to weekly when close to launch
• Specifically designed service/interfaces to produce streamlined and consistent user experience across both services
• Regular checkpoints agreed including co-ordinated end to end testing at both BL and OCLC

Lessons Learned
• User experience is key
• Strong project management is important – teams from 2 sites in the UK, and a single site in the USA
• Formal and informal communication channels, both business and technical teams
• Work closely together – co-ordinate resource and be flexible on timescales
• Project lasted 9 months and launch date slipped by 6 weeks- went live Monday 11th August
