Assured O-Cloud Accreditation & Notice of Results

- Outsourcery receives formal Pan Government Accreditation (PGA) Certification for Assured O-Cloud Platform (formerly

IL3) -

 - Outsourcery to announce full year results on Monday 30 March 2015 -

Outsourcery (AIM: OUT), a leading provider of cloud-based IT and unified communications solutions for the commercial and public sectors, is pleased to announce it has received formal Pan Government Accreditation (PGA) certification for its new Assured O-Cloud Platform. This permits Outsourcery to deliver Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) as OFFICIAL on the secure Public Services Network (PSN) from its new Assured O-Cloud Platform (formerly IL3).

This is another major milestone in the development of Outsourcery's unique offering and differentiated cloud services capability. The Assured O-Cloud Platform is the only Microsoft-validated platform in the UK designed solely to deliver services to central government and public sector organisations. The platform was designed and deployed in collaboration with Microsoft and Dell.

This completes Outsourcery's IaaS public sector accreditation, enabling customers to deploy assignments across two platforms in accordance with their security needs:

· The O-Cloud Platform, which was accredited to OFFICIAL Internet (formerly IL2) on 29 October 2014; and

· The Assured O-Cloud Platform, which has today been accredited to OFFICIAL PSN (formerly IL3) for organisations with PSN access.

All of Outsourcery's services on the Assured O-Cloud Platform are delivered from highly secure, resilient and UK sovereign Ark Continuity data centres.

In the coming months, Outsourcery will add Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Dynamics CRM, Lync and Exchange at OFFICIAL PSN (formerly IL3) to complete its SaaS portfolio offering for the UK public sector.

Outsourcery is already the only UK provider of cloud-based SaaS Lync accredited to OFFICIAL, able to support the UK Government's Cloud-First policy for 50% of ICT procurement to involve a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME). Outsourcery's service portfolio, which includes IaaS and SaaS, is available on the Digital Marketplace as part of the UK Government's G Cloud procurement framework.

Commenting on PGA OFFICIAL PSN accreditation, Piers Linney, Co-CEO of Outsourcery said:

"Receiving formal certification for our secure Assured O-Cloud Platform is a major milestone for Outsourcery. We have moved quickly with our partners to finance, design, deploy and accredit this platform due to the significant size of the opportunity.

Delivering hybrid cloud services to government is becoming increasingly critical as departments move from large legacy contracts to smaller disaggregated contracts that enable public sector organisations to engage with SMEs to access innovation, flexibility and value for money for the taxpayer."

Outsourcery will release full year results for the twelve months ended 31 December 2014, on Monday 30 March 2015.
