London Borough of Merton and Me-learning
Social care for children and young adults in the UK sees a relatively rapid turnover of staff, making training for new employees a costly ongoing necessity. It is estimated that the social care sector loses £78 million per year due to this high employee turnover. Furthermore, nationwide social care staff shortages mean busier social care workers with less time for training, even though post-qualification training is an essential part of their working lives as procedures and protocols are always being changed and updated. Recognising that its existing classroom-based training was reaching capacity, the London Borough of Merton saw e-learning as an opportunity to provide a more accessible, extensive and effective additional training programme. When a full-time trainer left the team 18 months ago, Merton decided to allocate part of its ICS (Integrated Children’s System) training grant to e-learning.

Parkeon and Future Processing
The Parkeon Group is the UK market leader in transport ticketing systems. In 2008 the firm began developing a new, powerful smartcard-based e-ticketing platform, called eBus, that would support a number of smartcard types defined by the ITSO standard. The standard allows passengers travelling across the UK to use the same card with various ITSO-compliant services providers. Parkeon runs a core in-house IT development team in the UK. When development for the eBus platform came up, the Parkeon team decided that outsourcing would be the most appropriate route.

Shipleys LLP and Ramsac
Shipleys LLP set up its first Citrix based network in 1999 as an ideal way to share its time and fees systems across its offices, whilst hosting all its systems on one set of centrally located servers. Because Shipleys LLP is highly dependent on its IT systems, which are shared over a number of geographically dispersed offices, it called upon outsourced IT specialists ramsac to audit its IT systems in 2007 and has employed them since as their ongoing IT support service and strategic advisor.
