Sagari have been Awarded as Official Public Sector Suppliers on the G-Cloud
At Sagari we knew we had the ideal solution to save government bodies/organisations a lot of money, whilst vastly improving their business functions.
So the Sagari team have been quietly working in the background to work through an extensive list of must have’s that the Government Procurement Service would expect any IT support provider to have in place to be accepted for hosted services.
This has been a 8 month process completed by the Government Procurement Service, where Sagari have been through a comprehensive due diligence process, completed on everything from staff, security, location and disaster recovery to name a few.
Sagari had to provide solid evidence on each section, which needed to be backed up with documentary evidence, certification, credit ratings, partner agreements and contracts, specific workflows and process documents.
Below is an example of some of the information we had to provide to demonstrate our abilities and of our set-up:
Datacentre
- The location of each datacentre
- How these datacentres are connected
- What ISO accreditations each datacentre has with documented proof of certifications
- What environmental accreditations the datacentres have with documented proof of certification
- Complete plans, process mapping, workflows and proof of disaster recovery set-up
- Access to all of the public sector network on the N3 (NHS network), GSI (Government Secure Intranet) etc. with supporting documents
- What internet exchange presence they have/ bandwidth availability and network speeds achievable
As you can see from the list above, this is just a small proportion of what was asked of us by the Government Procurement Service. To demonstrate the Sagari platform is of the highest standard, to allow Government bodies/organisations to host their data, email and applications with us.
To elaborate further, Sagari went up against over 600 leading cloud hosting suppliers around the world, to be selected down to the final 36. This means that Sagari are 1 of only 36 providers who are allowed to be awarded any hosting projects from the public sector through the G-cloud.
This is an incredible achievement for us and shows that we are really beginning to become one of the leading cloud computing providers available.
