Our expertise

Ensuring data quality

Relying on outdated legacy technology to manage and analyse data can hinder productivity – and data is crucial to enable effective decision-making. Armed with fresh knowledge and insight from intelligent software like Microsoft Power BI is one way your fire service can take a more proactive approach – and as a Microsoft Solutions Partner, we’re best placed to help you do just that.

Strengthening cyber security and digital resilience

Strengthening your security posture is vital for fire and rescue services to detect and respond to potential threats, ensuring sensitive information is always protected. Our fully managed Security Operations Centres and using Microsoft technology (such as Sentinel) enable fire and rescue teams to effectively manage and react to threats. We’re ready to help you fortify the digital defences of your fire and rescue service.

Boosting productivity and efficiency

Automating manual processes and streamlining workloads will help to free up fire and rescue resources for more critical tasks, particularly in the field. Find out how we helped East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service reduce the processing time of their site-specific risk information visits by 99.9%, using Microsoft technology.

Enhancing digital and data Literacy

At the heart of our transformation projects is one key purpose: to empower your staff and end-users to maximise their use of technology through tailored training. From digital skills assessments to skills scans and tailored courses, we can get your team up to speed in no time.

Driving Digital Transformation and Innovation

Staying ahead of the curve means embracing continuous and strategic innovation. By creating a digital success roadmap – whether it’s moving to cloud computing, using AI-driven analytics or other ambitions – your fire and rescue service can maximise the value of your investments.
