Bramble.cc replaces City of London Corporation’s legacy document management systems with SharePoint
Bramble.cc’s information management expertise enables City Corporation to make a smooth transition to a new SharePoint 2010 environment
The City of London Corporation has selected Bramble.cc, the information management experts, to replace its legacy document management applications with an enterprise-wide implementation of Microsoft SharePoint 2010.
The City Corporation, which provides local government and policing services for London’s ‘Square Mile’, the financial and commercial heart of Britain, had three separate document management systems to manage information in key areas such as social care, pensions and planning.
Graeme Quarrington-Page, IS Business Strategy Manager, City of London Corporation, said: “We decided to migrate our disparate document management systems to a single, integrated information management system based on SharePoint. We selected Bramble.cc to enable the implementation because of its SharePoint expertise, and because it was able to meet our tight deadlines and provide the best value for money.”
Bramble.cc’s services were purchased via the Government Procurement Service (formerly Buying Solutions). Bramble.cc is a leading Government Procurement Service ‘Framework’ supplier and provides services that enable enterprises in the public sector to maximise the benefits of SharePoint 2010.
Richard Archer, Managing Director, Bramble.cc said: “Many public sector organisations struggle with information and documents in different formats and on different systems. We enable them to implement a single, cohesive information management framework based on SharePoint 2010. We are pleased to be working with the City of London Corporation to put this framework in place to ensure that they achieve their efficiency and cost saving objectives.”
The six-month SharePoint implementation project at City of London Corporation is expected to be completed by March 2012.
SharePoint 2010 is software from Microsoft for implementing systems to enable better information management. It includes tools for: electronic document and records management (EDRM); collaborative working; electronic forms and workflow; web content management; portals; enterprise search and business intelligence.
