Heriot-Watt University case study
Heriot-Watt University’s Institute of Petroleum Engineering runs a research programme, the Edinburgh Time-Lapse Project (ETLP), which relies on data that has been provided by industry sponsors, such as BP and Shell. The Institute recognised that its IT infrastructure could no longer provide the processing power or storage space that the research team needed for accessing and storing vital information for its pioneering research.
The University required a specialist High Performance Computing partner to facilitate a solution that focused on scalability, availability and rapid deployment while providing 100 terabytes of disk space to archive data. Following consultation with systems integrator, Esteem Systems, the Institute asked Esteem to design and implement a High Performance Computing (HPC) Cluster based on Sun Microsystems technology.

Staffordshire County Council and Me Learning
Staffordshire County Council staff had mainly used classroom-based training or one-to-one training in the past, so online training was a new concept to the team, but made sense as a more flexible way of learning that would fit into the busy working patterns of staff. They turned to Me Learning.

British Transport Police and LPM Outsourcing
Many of the UK’s public sector operations now face regular performance reviews and are required to examine their internal procedures and seek new ways of improving efficiencies and performance levels. An integral element of many such change initiatives is a review of their sources of funding, and this was central to the re-structure of the British Transport Police (BTP) when, in 2004, it became a separate entity and financially independent from the Strategic Rail Authority (SRA). The BTP outsourced accounts receivable to LPM outsourcing improving cash flow, collection levels and avoided penalties from the Department of Transport.
