It’s official! edison365 has received confirmation to join the G-Cloud 14 Framework, strengthening its position to support public sector businesses with end-to-end business transformation tools. 🎉
This marks an exciting time for edison365, giving us the opportunity to work with some of the most crucial organizations across the United Kingdom. In this short guide, we’re exploring what the G-Cloud 14 Framework means for public sector businesses and why it’s important, along with how edison365 can help!
What is the G-Cloud 14 Framework?
Led by the UK Government, the G-Cloud 14 Framework is designed to help public sector businesses explore cloud-based services. This pre-vetted marketplace ensures they can explore safe and secure solutions for everything from accounting and finance to CRMs, innovation management, and more.
Organizations are able to purchase these various types of cloud-based solutions knowing they have had to meet specific criteria and certification requirements outlined by the Government.
But that isn’t the only benefit public sector businesses enjoy. In fact, there are several reasons why choosing a provider that is G-Cloud accredited. Let’s have a look at a few more in detail, shall we?
Benefits of Choosing a G-Cloud Approved Provider
Choosing a solution like edison365 that has been approved for the G-Cloud 14 Framework is more than just peace of mind. From transparency to efficiency, cost-effectiveness to modern technology, see the benefits below.
No more lengthy tenders
Many public sector organizations need newer technologies now, not in several months’ time. Because G-Cloud service providers are pre-vetted, it minimizes the time spent exploring various options and undergoing a long tender process.
Instead, public sector companies can fast-track their needs and deploy a suitable cloud-based tool quickly. Of course, it’s important to do your research, but with the Digital Marketplace, you’re already halfway there to find the right solution.
Total Transparency
Not every cloud-based solution will be awarded the G-Cloud 14 Framework without demonstrating openness and transparency around their tools, contract terms, pricing, service levels, and more.
Luckily, public sector businesses can dive into all the key details that make edison365 a great end-to-end business transformation platform. Our latest listings on the Digital Marketplace explain everything there is to know!
The same goes for every supplier across every category. Whether you’re a public sector biz looking for Human Resource Solutions or Logistics tools, every provider has been cleared by the Government as safe, secure, and transparent.
The Latest and Greatest Technology
The Government’s Digital Marketplace actively encourages public sector organizations to seek out innovative solutions. It’s a directory of some of the best tools on the market with the most unrivaled features.
By moving away from legacy systems and adopting modern technology that offers a state-of-the-art functionality whilst being user-friendly, public sector businesses can achieve much more, while potentially spending less.
It’s one of the many reasons we are proud to be added to the G-Cloud 14 Framework! We’re always looking at ways to build future-ready strategy, innovation, project, and portfolio management tools.
Becoming an approved service provider for the UK Government’s Digital Marketplace tells us we’re doing something right!
Complete Compliance
Last but certainly not least, compliance! When it comes to cloud-based solutions, compliance and data security are paramount. Luckily for public sector businesses, the Government’s G-Cloud 14 Framework does a lot of the heavy lifting.
How? Solutions like edison365 can only participate in the Digital Marketplace providing they meet the Government’s compliance requirements, data protection standards, and adhere to general regulations.
This level of security means public sector businesses have the peace of mind in choosing the hundreds of cloud-based providers on the marketplace. Most listings in fact highlight their solution’s standards and certifications, security governance, and operational security details.
What does this mean for edison365?
