Who uses our service

We help teams across Defence to access, analyse and publish data so they can make faster and better decisions.

As a single user or part of a larger team you can improve Defence outcomes with your data, in a secure environment, using approved tools that are ready to use.

To use our services, you need authorisation from your line manager. If you’re a partner, you’ll need an MOD sponsor for your project.

How we can help your data project

Quickly access our environment to:

  • work on projects of all sizes
  • use tools on a virtual machine to carry out deep analysis

Analyse your data:

  • in your own environment where you can store and work with your data
  • using resources that scale with demand
  • by bringing data sets together in one place for analysis

Get started

Email DDAP and tell us how you will use our service.

When we approve your request, a team member will take you through the onboarding process and help you to fill in a form.
