LONDON (Alliance News) - Outsourcery PLC Monday said it is going to take part in Microsoft Corp's initiative to accelerate the offering of IL3-compliant cloud services through its cloud operating systems network.
In a statement, the cloud computing company said it will deploy and manage a new platform to provide secure cloud-based services to UK government and commercial sector organisations with similar security requirements.
IL3 is a more stringent security level, which requires computer services to have additional security and to be hosted within the UK.
"The deployment of an IL3 compliant version of our O-Cloud platform, powered by Microsoft, is a very significant development for Outsourcery and we expect it to represent a material revenue stream by the end of 2015, in addition to our existing commercial sector business," co-Chief Executive Piers Linney said.
"We will provide the UK government, as well as security sensitive commercial sector organisations, the broadest offering of IL3 compliant and fully integrated cloud-based services available in the UK that will span platform, applications, unified communications and Big Data storage and analytics," he added.
The company's shares were up 1.9% at 120.8 pence Monday morning.
