With the addition of FARYNOR fire safety records management, CIRRUSmaps web mapping platform and geospatial consultancy, Atkins now has 17 services listed on G-Cloud. These range from cloud design and testing, to cloud strategy and implementation.


David Innis, Atkins public sector director, said, “This is a good service launch that provides our public sector customers with a fast and efficient procurement route to access cloud services from Atkins and a number of SME suppliers, in support of the government’s agenda to maximise the efficiencies from public sector IT spend.”


Atkins’ innovative software systems - LOCARD forensics case management, FARYNOR and CIRRUSmaps - are also available on G-Cloud as a ‘software as a service’.


Colin Heyes, Atkins emergency services manager, explains: “Traditionally, purchasing software involved upfront payments for a licence fee and the server infrastructure. With ‘software as a service’, you pay per user, per month or year, and the software is hosted on a ‘cloud’ server. The result is that you pay as you go and become ‘infrastructure-free’.”


G-Cloud, the UK Government’s CloudStore, aims to make the purchasing of public sector ICT as simple and transparent as possible. Atkins offers a range of services and products on G-Cloud for its public sector clients, primarily in lots three (software as a service) and four (specialist services).
