Public sector IT challengesUntangle your legacy systems

The public sector is at an inflection point: resource cuts are happening alongside rapid technological change, which offers huge potential for performance and efficiency. In this climate, every IT decision counts.

As a specialist IT provider to the public sector and charities, we understand both the challenge and potential.

We’re working with many leading UK government and third sector organisations to assess, design, plan and implement significant transformation projects to deliver long-term value – including service modernisation, consolidation and migration to new secure cloud or virtualised platforms.

The challenges

Many large organisations are limited by:

• Hosting arrangements with a variety of different providers, with inappropriate and often gold-plated SLAs
• Disparate legacy technical systems - many based on physical rather than virtual infrastructures
• A multitude of databases, business applications and underlying platforms
• Ad hoc development, test and release processes
• Inconsistent, fragile or non-existent formal disaster recovery process

Helping you achieve your goals

Our transformation services will guide you towards a more efficient, effective and sustainable approach to IT, helping you to:

Save money

For example by reducing the number of hosting contracts and consolidating infrastructure and websites across your department and partner agencies.

Be agile and ready for the future

By auditing and rationalising your IT infrastructure, you’ll know exactly where all your information is stored in readiness for cloud adoption. We can implement IL2 and IL3 private or multi-tenant clouds, and we're on the G-Cloud and Janet frameworks.

Channel shift

By helping you deliver more services online, we can increase engagement with your key audiences and reduce reliance on phone or face-to-face contact – freeing up resources and reducing costs.

Be open and transparent

We can help make your public data more accessible, securely and using the appropriate standards, making it available for citizens and for wholesale distribution, for example through national media.

Meet energy targets

Our expertise can help you meet your CRC Energy Efficiency targets through server rationalisation, virtualisation and cloud solutions.

Enjoy flexible contracts

We don’t believe in tying customers into long-term contracts but in giving you the freedom of a more flexible approach. We can offer short contracts – or even pay as you go. Our customers stay with us because they want to.

Reduce uncertainty

Using a well-defined framework, our project management team specialise in managing large government projects and has worked with dozens of public sector organisations.
