Public Services in Scotland
Fujitsu is proud to see its practical approach making a real difference to the lives of Scottish people.
We are working with The Highland Council, a partnership dating back to 1998 that sees all the council’s ICT infrastructure outsourced to Fujitsu. We provide a full IT managed service to 6,000 users across 500+ council locations. Through the partnership,
Fujitsu also supplies shared IT services to NHS Highland, Highland and Islands Fire and Rescue Service (supporting every fire station), Orkney Islands Council and Northern Constabulary.
And it was with Fujitsu’s help that The Moray Council became the UK’s first Education Authority to be up and running with the National Grid for Learning Programme. The partnership began in 1999, when Fujitsu was chosen to provide an ICT managed service to all 54 primary and secondary schools in Moray. The service includes email, video-conferencing and secure internet access to teachers, administrators and 13,000 pupils.
For HM Revenue and Customs, we set up an entire new operation in Cumbernauld as part of the full managed IT service that now handles 19 million forms a year.
Other public sector organisations that Fujitsu work with in Scotland include Aberdeen City Council, DVLA, Fife Council, Forestry Commission, Ministry of Defence and the National Galleries of Scotland.
It’s where Young Scots go
The Young Scot web portal, developed and hosted by Fujitsu, enables direct one-to-one communication with Scotland’s youth.
Since 2002, young people in Scotland have had a lively and instant source of information on anything from health and education to travel and the law. The site’s 2,500+ pages also feature 32 sub-sites for every local authority in Scotland with local information pages written for and by young people. Young Scot currently has 310,000 members across Scotland.
“The portal allows us to connect effectively with young people, how, where and when they want.” Louise Macdonald, Communications Director, Young Scot.
