Leverage proven experience and solutions

Digital technology has not only changed the way we live and work, but heightened our expectations against a backlash of funding and resource pressures, maintaining and improving public services is becoming increasingly challenging.

We work with our customers to develop unique technology eco-systems, connecting infrastructure and complex applications from across national government departments to local public service organisations, so that you can slash the time it takes to turn ideas into better outcomes for citizens.

How we support various sectors

Central government

Providing a strong foundation to power your infrastructure, we help governments join up services with a focus on modernisation. Simplifying operations and maximising efficiencies, our emerging technologies unify systems, future-proofing them with easily scalable design. Our solutions help to keep citizens at the centre of service delivery. 

Regional and local governments are being empowered to make decisions that will have the greatest impact on their communities. This requires a shift to become more agile, responsive and citizen-centric. Modernising IT infrastructure can help with this transition, creating a strong foundation to solve issues and deliver services efficiently and sustainably, improving the lives of citizens.

The rapidly evolving digital world has brought about an increasingly challenging era in policing. Facing new pressures with crimes that demand specialist skills to investigate, technology needs to keep pace. Digital ‘transformation’ and ‘evolution’ are fundamental in leading forces to better protect the communities they serve, ensuring a modern IT environment is well equipped to tackle increasingly complex crimes.

Transformation though is not straightforward, in large part due to a combination of legacy debt, data silos, operational vulnerabilities, risk aversion and integration challenges etc. The coinciding growth in cybercrime, has meant forces are increasingly pressured to enhance their security and diligence towards evolving threats. 

Rising student and academic expectations and the emergence of connected, smart campuses means that technology has never been more critical for keeping your university or college competitive. However, with budget pressures and reduced funding, efficient solutions are vital in helping you to do more with less.

A unified view of your entire infrastructure is essential, stretching across public clouds, edge computing, networking, and high-performance research systems. HPE GreenLake provides a single platform that simplifies and seamlessly connects every aspect of your technology environment, ensuring security and efficiency across your organisation.

New legislation, rising patient expectations and a drive to modernise via new technology is motivating healthcare organisations to adapt and evolve. Data is the lifeblood of the healthcare sector, and a data-first modernisation strategy is required to keep up with the changing landscape. HPE GreenLake is the ideal foundation for digital modernisation. Providing an agile, scalable and flexible platform for on-premises and public cloud infrastructure, HPE GreenLake’s hybrid approach supports new business models and simplifies the management of large amounts of data.

Becoming consciously hybrid

Relying on legacy tech that is still integral to operations shouldn’t mean staying stuck in the digital past. However, many workloads just aren’t right for public cloud. There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ cloud solution, and a public cloud may well lead to spiralling costs, risk vendor lock in and make it hard to redevelop legacy applications to fit in your cloud environment. A ‘consciously hybrid’ approach to cloud sees on-premises and public cloud brought together, bridging the gap between legacy and modern technology. A hybrid cloud environment is flexible, adaptable and scalable, providing a foundation to efficiently build digital public resources and help people access the services they need.

HPE GreenLake helps to reduce costs, providing a secure, simple and flexible hybrid platform to access applications and workloads wherever they reside in a consumption-based model, meaning you only pay for what you use. The model is flexible, however, and can be purchased as capex and opex. Providing a cloud-like experience everywhere, HPE GreenLake streamlines processes, boosts efficiencies and offers critical insights, with AI-powered tools automating back-office functions. With the infrastructure running itself, teams can focus on delivering proactive services that improve the lives of the local community and developing innovative processes to keep services relevant.

Simplifying IT management

Many councils rely on small IT teams that face resource constraints when managing complex infrastructures. We can work with you to optimise your environment, ensuring correct infrastructure sizing to eliminate overprovisioning and therefore reduce costs. HPE tools like COM (Compute Ops Management) and DSCC (Data Services Cloud Console) streamline IT management with intuitive interfaces and simplified workflows. These solutions enable IT teams to effortlessly manage infrastructure, deploy updates and monitor performance from a single pane of glass.

Harnessing cost efficiencies

Simplifying operations with a hybrid cloud creates a controlled, secure platform that modernises systems while helping to rebuild public trust in services. With councils under increasing budgetary pressure, we can eliminate the risk of overprovisioning with a ‘pay-as-you-go’ model, reducing back-office costs via automation, and enhancing IT resource efficiency. This means that precious budgets can be redirected toward innovation and proactive citizen care. Overcoming challenges such as fragmented data, outdated systems and procurement restraints, a ‘people-first’ approach ensures the needs of citizens remain at the heart of services. Using data and the latest technologies can improve the reliability and predictability of services. 

Reaching for resiliency and sustainability

Local government IT teams are under increasing pressure to improve sustainability of services and consider environmental impact as part of the IT strategy. Taking a holistic approach to digital transformation can support your journey to net zero. Low carbon solutions and advanced analytics reduce energy requirements, whilst a consumption-based hybrid cloud model meets demand without overprovisioning. 

HPE GreenLake shows exactly what is being used and where, increasing understanding and driving efficiency. Improving energy efficiency through an optimised IT infrastructure and minimising resource duplication through promoting easy collaboration with a user-friendly platform reduces storage and energy requirements. With enhanced security and disaster recovery capabilities, a hybrid cloud ensures resilience is built in.
