The Insolvency Service has today revealed it signed a five-year, 20-million IT transformation contract for it to better manage its increasing caseload.
The government agency in charge of administering and investigating the affairs of bankrupts, companies and partnerships has signed the deal for managed service hosting and support of its servers, applications and networks will enable its move from traditional client-server IT delivery to one based on thin client computing.
The Insolvency Service required a modern network infrastructure to equip their 2,750 employees to better manage a rapidly increasing caseload across 35 locations in the UK.
Graham Horne, acting chief executive of the Insolvency Service stated that the transformation will enable it to manage IT costs more effectively as well as operate more efficiently.
"By moving from desktop and laptop systems to thin client hardware, we will be able to centrally manage our key applications, reduce our energy costs and be able to more effectively plan, as we will know the exact cost of adding each new user," he said.
