From vision and strategy creation, refresh or validation, through to considering what is available in the market, to supporting the creation of any necessary business cases, to supporting the procurements to choose the right solution, The Martin Bell Partnership can help organisations to shift to cloud hosting and software services.
We can help you to build the right vision, then create a strategy and a plan to deliver, and then work with you to build the stakeholder engagement that is required to deliver simple or complex programmes of work. - Planning service works with specific services

We can support organisations to migrate through consultancy support, and connecting those organisations with the necessary skills in the wider market, to choose the best approach.
We do not "literally" do the technical migrations ourselves, just for the sake of clarity. However, we can help organisations to develop their vision, their strategy and their plans to deliver successful migrations between Cloud Services, ensuring that the benefits sought, are achieved. - Setup or migration service is for specific cloud services

Quality assurance and performance testing
- Quality assurance and performance testing service
- Yes
- How the quality assurance and performance testing works
-
Yes, we can provide quality assurance support.
For example, we can support organisations to have the right governance in place, and validate and assure that governance, programme or project stages, gateway pass throughs and milestones reached.
We can assess whether a service is ready to go live, and the organisation to receive it.
Post go live, we can assure compliance for the benefits with those stated in the business case.
We believe that having a strong governance and assurance framework in place around a programme of work, with all of the right key stakeholders involved, is key to success.
We ensure that organisations understand the Executive/Senior level sponsorship that is required, as well as the practical, properly resources project resource needed to deliver.
We can help organisations ensure and assure that they remain on track, throughout their programmes of work, and, through ensuring robust risk and project management, that any deviation can be quickly spotted and dealt with.

Fighting climate change
The Martin Bell Partnership is committed to playing its role (all be it a small one in the scheme of things) to fight climate change.
We are a "no fly" consultancy, significantly reducing our harm to the environment in terms of carbon foot print.
We normally use public transport, such as trains or ferries for longer or overseas journeys, and we do the significant bulk of our consultancy work without the need for any travel, using modern technology to provide remote, video and telephone services.
We have developed a carbon reduction plan to tackle a reduction in our energy usage and aim to be net zero by 2030 or before.Covid-19 recovery
The Martin Bell Partnership is committed to playing its role (all be it a small one in the scheme of things) to support the UKs recovery from Covid19.
We continue to take sensible precautions (such as remotely working from our rural offices, keeping direct contact to a minimum) and support all those who wish to ensure continued protection remains in place, respecting each individuals space and supporting any of those who we do meet if they wish to continue to take enhanced precautions such as mask wearing or not shaking hands, etc.
We are working with and have worked with, a number of clients and NHS organisations to support them to recover from Covid19, tackle waiting lists, establish virtual wards and meet the other priorities set by Government.Tackling economic inequality
The Martin Bell Partnership is committed to playing its role (all be it a small one in the scheme of things) to tackle economic inequality.
Based in North Yorkshire, we support many suppliers locally, contributing to the local economy, and source any materials we need locally as well.
We also sponsor a number of local community organisations, including Sporting Start, who enable young people who might not otherwise get the opportunity, to go on sporting adventures. We also sponsor two teams at the local junior football club, supporting boys and girls to remain active and enjoy sports.
We work with a number of smaller companies, based all over the UK (and Ireland), and champion those companies to help them compete with larger players in the market.
We work with many founders of start ups who are women and from ethnic minorities, both of whom have a far greater challenge in getting funding for their businesses, and support them to grow.Equal opportunity
The Martin Bell Partnership is fully supportive of equal opportunities, always has been and always will be.
We pay any associates we use the same, we champion companies with female and ethnic minority founders and help them to find investment funding, which is harder with so much going to men and white men at that, and we treat everyone equally with respect.
Our two directors are split evenly, 1 male, 1 female, and our associates are similarly evenly split between sexes.
It's one thing to have a policy on it (as so many do), it's another to just actually live it, as it's the right thing to do.Wellbeing
As The Martin Bell Partnership is small consultancy, with a few trusted associates and one full time employee, our well being really does lie within our hands.
However, for example, should anyone need personal time, they get it instantly, without question.
Work is always evenly distributed and fairly paid for.
We encourage the same approach with our clients and suppliers, big or small. Just Be kind (to yourself as well).
Work/life balance is why The Martin Bell Partnership exists in the first place, to get exactly that and move away from the long corporate hours and the large company cultures that are often encouraged.
