Xhead = Scottish canal operator spends £2.3m on IT
continuity, BCS reports.
The company, which manages Scotland's canal network, has chosen technology provider Amor Group to revamp its systems over the next three years. The firm will provide BWS with services including IT infrastructure, storage, business continuity, disaster recovery and desktop servers.
Computing.co.uk says the contract opportunity arose after a decision that sees BWS coming under the remit of the Scottish government from April 2012.
Debs Hurst, financial controller at BWS, believes the organisation required a new IT system to succeed as a standalone organisation and continue to grow.
Hurst says: "With Scottish ministers having decided that we shall remain in public ownership as a standalone public body, we needed a partner to help us develop a new ICT system and one that is flexible enough to support business growth going forward.”
Amor will design a computer system for the canal operator, which is being split up from its partner organisations in England and Wales, and so needs standalone IT infrastructure, Scotsman.com states.
