Maintel has witnessed a year of public sector success following its Intrinsic Technology acquisition, with key health and education wins and government partnerships providing an additional boost.
Maintel's public sector practice now accounts for over 20% of the company's revenue
In 2017 the company added more organisations to its roster of public service clients, including Greater London Authority, Kingston Hospital NHS Trust, London Borough of Redbridge, and Devon & Somerset Fire and Rescue Services.
Maintel has also secured projects with existing clients, including University of Bath and a major £10m managed services and IP telephony contract with University College London Hospitals (UCLH).
"With the public sector facing significant budget cuts, organisations such as the NHS are increasingly looking at how they can make material cash savings while still improving critical services," said Eddie Buxton, CEO at Maintel.
"Recently we have seen an increased willingness within the public sector to consider cloud as a vehicle to deliver efficiency and savings, thanks largely to its reliability and security.
"We have helped more than 300 public sector organisations to modernise their communications, covering over 250,000 employees."
Maintel has secured membership to all ten lots in the Network Services Framework (RM1045), enabling the company to create and develop end-to-end communications environments for its customers.
"While 2017 has been a great year for Maintel, we have every reason to expect even more success in 2018," added Buxton.
"The health sector is showing increasing demand for IP telephony to bring down costs and boost efficiency.
"A number of trusts have signed up to our ICON Communicate platform, having banished their doubts about the security of cloud-based services.
"Meanwhile, we are on course to become a Health and Social Care Network (HSCN) member in Q1 2018, which promises more exciting opportunities with NHS organisations planning to upgrade from the N3 network."
