Partnership agreement with Virgin Media Business

Outsourcery plc (AIM: OUT, 'Outsourcery'), the pure-play provider of Cloud-based IT and communications services (ICT), announces that it has signed a contract with Virgin Media Business to resell Outsourcery's suite of services, for a minimum of three years.

Outsourcery was selected by Virgin Media Business to provide cloud services in December 2012 following a UK-wide and rigorous procurement process. Outsourcery was selected due to its world-class, enterprise-grade platform and capabilities as well as its ability to deploy CESG IL2 accredited solutions for public sector end-customers.

The companies have been working collectively since Outsourcery was selected to integrate business processes and design effective go-to-market cloud strategies to enable scale.

Piers Linney, Outsourcery's Co-CEO, said:

"We were extremely pleased to have been selected by Virgin Media Business. After several months of initial integration work, we are looking forward to supporting Virgin Media Business in its go-to-market strategy to generate revenues. As well as being ISO 27001 compliant, Outsourcery was also able to offer Virgin Media Business the ability to deploy CESG IL2 accredited solutions for the public sector."
