Norfolk County Council Selects HP to Transform Services by
Harnessing the Power of Big Data
Groundbreaking Initiative Will Help NCC Safeguard Vulnerable
People, Improve Education, Create Sustainable Jobs While Saving
Costs
NORWICH, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwired - Dec 5, 2013) - HP (NYSE:
HPQ) -- HP Enterprise Services Ltd today announced it is
working with Norfolk County Council (NCC) in a groundbreaking new
initiative to boost the local economy, solve social problems and
safeguard vulnerable people while saving costs.
HP Enterprise Services and NCC will create a cloud-based
information hub to transform the delivery of integrated public
services in Norfolk, driving efficiencies through smart use of
technology and multi-agency collaboration. By utilizing the
economic and social value of the big data held by NCC and its
partner agencies, the new information hub will help NCC create a
local knowledge economy, improve education standards and attract
further investment to the county.
NCC is responsible for education, social services, highways,
fire and rescue services, libraries, waste disposal, consumer
services and planning for a population of almost 900,000.
"Our vision is to deliver world-class integrated public services
that stimulate and support a sustainable knowledge economy in
Norfolk," said Tom Baker, chief information officer, Norfolk County
Council. "HP will contribute to the economic, social and
environmental sustainability of the County by enabling multiple
agencies to effectively participate in joint service delivery. The
creation of a platform for more joined-up collaboration between NCC
and other partners will make it possible to get a single view. In
addition, HP will enable us to make cost savings of about 20
percent."
Working with partners including Microsoft, Vodafone and 50
small-medium enterprises (SMEs), HP will provide a desktop, data
center and collaboration infrastructure to enable better ways of
working across Norfolk. Bringing together disparate data from
multiple agencies will enable NCC to make evidence-based decisions,
reduce costly duplication and meet rising demands for services.
Helping to create sustainable jobs in the county, the new
information hub will be developed by graduates from the University
of East Anglia along with HP and NCC staff through a number of
internships and placements supported by HP. An innovation program
will see projects such as one-on-one computing for schoolchildren,
10,000 volunteering hours to support community projects, and the
creation of a degree in Information and Management Analytics to
provide a future workforce with skills in this emerging area. In
addition, local SMEs, schools and communities will be supported and
encouraged to create apps that bring together useful data to
support the local economy.
Based on HP Autonomy IDOL, HP RM, HP Vertica Analytics Platform,
Visionware and Microsoft Windows® 8.1 and Office365 software, NCC's
new information hub will be integrated through HP Enterprise
Services Information Management and Analytics Advisory services. HP
will manage the virtualization and migration of NCC's data center
services to the cloud.
Communications partner Vodafone will enable secure data center
connectivity combined with 4G to enable multiple agencies to
securely access services. Vodafone's Better Ways of Working
engagement from its in house consultancy practice will support the
Council's new work styles.
As part of Microsoft's CityNext program, which enables cities
and regions to harness a new era of innovation, NCC will transform
public services by focusing on technology that puts peoples' needs
first.
"Norfolk has a forward-thinking County Council and the region is
tackling some of the most complex big data challenges in areas such
as climate change and food science," said Stuart Bladen, vice
president and general manager, UK Public Sector, HP Enterprise
Services. "This initiative with Norfolk is unique in local
government in the UK -- it will provide a new style of public
service that enables multiple agencies to effectively participate
in joint service delivery."
HP's premier EMEA client event, HP Discover, takes place Dec.
10-12 in Barcelona, Spain.
