A new electronic working environment
developed jointly by Fujitsu and Microsoft
Ministry of Defence: Project Home
The UK MOD’s Headquarters (HQ) in Whitehall was well overdue for refurbishment. The working environment was dated and there were numerous different IT systems with a widely varying range of modernity.
Fujitsu won the contract for Project Head Office Modern Environment (HOME) providing the project management, integration, implementation and ongoing service management of a new IT infrastructure and 6,000 work stations.
A new electronic working environment, developed jointly by Fujitsu and Microsoft, was introduced, codenamed Accelerator. It included a Meridio Enterprise Document and Records Management (EDRM) solution, K2’s workflow product, Microsoft SharePoint Services and innovative hardware to enable collaborative working with multiple security levels.
