Health

Over the last decade there have been significant changes in the healthcare industry, and the NHS has seen an increased focus on initiatives to become more patient-led and joined-up.

The Department of Health recently set out the next stage of NHS improvements in order to offer a high quality of care for all. Underpinning this drive will be the provision of information and choice for patients, staff and the public, as well as a need to work in partnership.

Information and Communications Technology will play a vital role in this transformation, helping NHS organisations to become more productive, efficient and sustainable.

Using Cloud services, Trusts will be able to virtualise their networks, efficiently storing applications, servers and data at a central site for all their staff to use and share. By installing IP networks, hospitals will be able to run Unified Communications applications, such as video conferencing to enable specialists around the country to be consulted quickly and simply, without having to travel. GP surgeries can benefit from IP telephony, bringing cost efficiencies and making for simpler management of changes or additions to the network.

Education

Schools and colleges are keen to increase access to quality education, reach new students and engage with parents, pupils and the local community. However, the backdrop of threatened budget cuts and the termination of the Building Schools for the Future programme is not making this easy.

The adoption of new technology is the answer, with its use in both classroom and school office bringing greater efficiency and a better student experience than ever before.

Cloud services enable students to access their college’s facilities wherever they may be working, whether in the UK or from a partner institution anywhere in the world. A more efficient network helps teachers and administrators make faster decisions, improve operational processes and reduce costs.

Meanwhile, the adoption of Unified Communications messaging solutions helps improve collaboration with multiple audiences; digital media systems and wireless networking extend learning beyond the classroom; and intelligent building solutions enhance security and support safe learning.

Local Government

ICT is at the heart of the UK Government’s policy to transform public services, helping to increase efficiency of delivery and improve the range and quality of services on offer.

All types of local authority - district, borough, county and unitary - can move closer to the communities they serve by introducing smarter ways of working. With an ICT service delivery platform bringing together the latest in data centres, networks and information security, they can fully exploit new technologies such as virtualisation, against a backdrop of excellent reliability, availability and serviceability.

Workforces can be made more efficient through the use of communications and mobility technologies, enabling faster decision making. Networked IT can radically change the management of office and other work locations, connecting workplaces to deliver more joined-up services and boost operational efficiency. Meanwhile, introducing Unified Communications solutions will make it easier for the community to interact with a council and its services. These new technologies are often greener too, enabling councils to reduce their carbon footprint and meet sustainability goals.
