Recent Successes

We've had a busy summer and Autumn and our list of clients continues to grow.  Here are some of our successes.

We were commissioned by Marathon Oil to help them source a data co-location provider for many of its non-USA located ICT server rooms.  We faciliated planning scenarios for Glasgow Metropolitan College and, on behalf of Highlands and Islands Enterprise, we have assisted a number of their client organisations

The University of the Highlands and Islands commissioned us to conduct a feasibility study to test the viability of establishing an UHI Professorial Chair in Creative Industries.  In July, we successfully completed the merger of the ICT facilities at Scottish Arts Council and Scottish Screen in the establishment of Creative Scotland and we are now leading the IT aspects of the fit-out and relocation planning of the organisation's Edinburgh office into Waverley Gate.

Finally, we submitted ideas and information to the The Scottish Government Finance Committee's enquiry into efficient public services, as part of the Budget Strategy Phase.
