CCS delivers value for the nation through commercial capability and quality customer service. Its procurement arrangements can be used by central government departments and organisations across the public sector including local government, health, education, not-for-profit and devolved administrations.

G-Cloud, launched in 2012, brings increased flexibility and cost reduction that the cloud gives to private companies and makes it available for public sector organisations.

The SME Enterprise File Share and Sync solution was evaluated during the tender process and pre-agreed terms and conditions offer customers sound contractual safeguards. Through the competitive tender process and regular benchmarking, CCS ensures customers have access to the most competitive deals.

SME is available in a package using UK cloud’s primary storage in the cloud and computing-as-a-service infrastructure, delivering an enterprise-grade file server and storage solution.

UKCloud, SME’s chosen partner, has been helping the UK public sector to transform its digital capabilities. They’ve helped save hundreds of millions of pounds by delivering more agile, lower cost IT solutions throughout government.

SME brings a secure file sharing alternative for government and educational bodies, which will allow customers to store and manage data in a scalable and secure environment through a user-friendly interface. The SME solution is integrated, managed and utilised to set secure governance and compliance controls.

The solution is also able to unify different data sources, such FTP, WebDav, SharePoint, and up to 50 others, into a single interface that is securely accessible from any mobile device or desktop.

In addition to the reselection SME announced a large government customer win that is using the UK cloud infrastructure with the SME solution, taking advantage of UK cloud’s object storage and the permissioning with SFTP access from the SME provided solution. The nature of the organisation prevents SME being able to reference them by name direct.

Simon Hansford, UKCloud CEO, said: “Our partners play an absolutely pivotal role in the success and continued growth of our business within the G-Cloud framework. We chose our new name – UKCloud- because it perfectly encapsulates our unwavering dedication to and focus on the UK public sector. Combine that commitment with our security credentials and our partners’ extensive capabilities and together we can continue to transform public sector services that benefit all UK citizens and tax payers via G-Cloud 8.

Jim Liddle, SME CEO, said: “We remain committed to G-Cloud and have started to accrue larger customers due to the sheer breadth of our solution and the number of use cases it satisfies for UK Government organisations. These include secure file sharing, encryption, collaboration, native desktop drive access, and policy driven data governance.

SME is providing their collaboration and file sharing solution choice for universities and schools, non-profit organizations, direct corporate use, OEM and ISP.
