Outsourcery selected as supplier on Government's G Cloud Framework
Outsourcery plc (AIM: OUT, "Outsourcery", "the Group"), a world-leading provider of cloud-based IT and unified communications services, has been accepted onto the Government's G Cloud Framework. The G Cloud is the mechanism by which public sector organisations can procure flexible cloud-based services to allow them to take advantage of new technologies and achieve business benefits.
The acceptance of a number of Outsourcery's products, including Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS), is a strong affirmation of the Group's security credentials.
Outsourcery has been delivering cloud services through partners since 2007. This framework will enable the Group's key partners to utilise the G Cloud, helping to take their own cloud services, powered by Outsourcery, to the public sector.
Piers Linney, Outsourcery's Co-CEO, said:
"We are extremely pleased to be selected to participate in the G Cloud Framework. We can now enable our partners to develop strategies to generate revenues through the G Cloud and the public sector as a whole.
"We can leverage the experience gained in achieving a number of ISO accreditations, including ISO 27001 and our CESG IL2 capabilities, and by going through the G Cloud process, help our partners understand and address the significant opportunities arising within with the public sector.
"We believe that our enterprise-grade, cloud-based IT and unified communications solutions encompassing Microsoft's Lync technology will help public sector organisations achieve huge gains in operational and budgetary efficiency."
