Driving Digital Transformation With
True Agile Delivery at HOOPP
HOOPP works every day to build the foundation for a
financially secure retirement for Ontario’s healthcare
workers. The mission of its IT team is to deliver highvalue,
right-sized and timely solutions that enable the
plan to deliver its pension promise to its more than
350,000 members.
Since 2014, ObjectSharp’s team of senior consultants
have worked embedded with HOOPP’s IT teams,
helping them navigate change and foster innovation
with the right combination of people, processes and
products.
HOOPP chose ObjectSharp for its unique embedded
partnership approach. A true partner, ObjectSharp is
not just another consultancy that advises and walks
away. ObjectSharp is different. Our culture is one of
results-driven partnership; we work embedded with
you to identify and provide value where you need it
most, coaching your teams in the Agile delivery model
as we go.
Initially embedded with HOOPP’s Investment Services
Group, and then later its Corporate Services and
Pension Services groups, ObjectSharp’s team of senior
consultants have leveraged their deep knowledge of
Agile and expertise in DevOps and the Microsoft Azure
Cloud to drive digital transformation by:
implementing CI/CD and establishing a true DevOps
culture that drives rapid development and faster
release cycles;
increasing software delivery velocity and quality with
sophisticated automated regression testing and
reporting solutions;
building HOOPP’s first reusable React UI component
library, used by HOOPP’s in-house team of
investment professionals in their daily management
of the plan;
using infrastructure as code to reduce help desk
ticket response times by 80%;
improving data governance and risk management by
operationalizing security and privacy policies as code
and configuration in the Cloud; and
coaching executive leadership and management to
lead and succeed with Agile.
