14 March 2012, Objective Corporation (Objective), a specialist provider of proven content, collaboration and process management solutions for the public sector, has been confirmed as an approved supplier of the UK Governments G-Cloud framework. With a demonstrable track record of providing collaborative cloud based solutions to government organisations, Objective is expertly placed to be a part of this initiative and to understand the long term benefits that the G-Cloud will offer to the public sector.
Objective’s collaboration and engagement applications – Objective uCreate, Objective uEngage and Objective Policy Lifecycle Management (PLM) – will be offered as IT services via the G-Cloud CloudStore.
“We are delighted to be part of the G-Cloud initiative and are already delivering on the Government’s vision to move more IT services towards the cloud. With 5 years’ experience as host of one of the UK’s largest Government engagement and collaboration public clouds, we have seen firsthand the benefits it can offer in terms of a unified workspace that delivers better public sector outcomes at a lower total cost.” comments Simon Etherington, UK General Manager, Objective.
Objective’s online applications, which will be available via the CloudStore, will offer public sector organisations the following benefits:
A scalable Cloud platform accessible via the web
Sharing of best practice resources among Government agencies via our Community Library containing over 20,000 content items
The ability to share data and information safely
The G-Cloud framework is set to operate in a similar way to Objective’s existing cloud solutions which are utilised by over 5,000 public sector professionals. These platforms are specifically designed to facilitate smarter working through real time collaboration and better engagement with stakeholders.
Andy Palmer, Head of Strategy, Programmes and Performance, Regeneration and Economic Development, Durham County Council comments: “As a public sector organisation we are under constant pressure to do more with less and find solutions that offer long term value. Objective’s online solutions have helped us to deliver a more consolidated strategy and policy function and helped to streamline stakeholder engagement. It is really positive news that Objective will be part of the CloudStore.”
