Secure virtual data centre solution from BT helps council create a more responsive and child-centred organisation
Having multiple systems across different hardware platforms meant an expensive-to-support fragmented IT estate. It was also a recipe for compliance and security issues.
Integrating applications and introducing single-sign-on were major improvements, but Paul Fisher wanted to go a stage further, by reducing costs. BT had the answer.
On Demand Compute, the virtual data centre service provided by BT, has enabled Children’s Services to move towards a single database supporting multiple applications, all in a managed environment.
That’s proving to be a far more secure, efficient, and flexible approach.
“Across the estate of 450 schools, only having to input data once rather than up to five times, we’ve calculated the savings could be as much as £2 million to £4 million.”
