Logicalis

Digital Government and Service Defined IT

Logicalis understands that the role and importance of ICT within public sector organisations has undergone dramatic changes in recent years. The most significant of these is the relationship between those who deliver ICT and those who consume the services it delivers. 

ICT has never been more critical to the successful transformation of public service delivery. And never before has the budget and resources needed to drive ICT-led service transformation been harder to find. Throughout the public sector, ICT is influencing every facet of  service delivery. This includes the way in which citizens engage with local government, central government, healthcare, education and revenue, the way those who deliver frontline public services interact with each other, and the strategies that procurement and finance adopt to achieve greater productivity, efficiencies and cost savings.

Logicalis is an international IT solutions and managed services provider with a breadth of knowledge and expertise in communications and collaboration; data centre and cloud services; and managed services. Logicalis employs nearly 3,700 people worldwide, including highly trained service specialists who design, specify, deploy and manage complex ICT infrastructures to meet the needs of almost 6,000 corporate and public sector customers.  To achieve this, Logicalis maintains strong partnerships with technology leaders such as Cisco, HP, IBM, CA Technologies, NetApp, Microsoft, VMware and ServiceNow.
