Elstree-based IT services provider, Imerja, has successfully completed a project to implement a flexible working strategy for Warrington Borough Council.
The council was keen to improve business efficiencies, ensure continuity in a crisis and improve the work/life balance of staff by facilitating the remote delivery of key services.
Imerja, working in partnership with ntl:Telewest, increased the capacity of the council’s networks, implemented encryption technology on laptops and USBs to provide secure remote access, and produced a formal flexible working policy to ensure that mobile working is properly policed.
Ian Jackson, Managing Director of Imerjasaid: “Most councils now understand the necessity of high-capacity network access and data security, and we are delighted to have been able to supply the crucial solutions that Warrington required. The council is now benefiting from increased resilience, capacity and functionality, meaning that services can be delivered in a more efficient manner.”
Ian Hawkins, Service Design & Delivery Manager at Warrington Borough Council, added: “This project has been extremely successful for the council and we are quickly reaping the benefits of a more flexible workforce. We have been very impressed with the ntl:Telewest, Imerja partnership, as they ensured that the project was delivered on time, with minimal disruption to normal service.”
