Onboarding and offboarding

Getting started
IronWorks on-boarding is fast and easy to do, and typically takes five minutes in total to achieve. We will assist a prospective or new customer to integrate by providing a list of the necessary settings prior to a joint webinar call. This call then connects the customer's Microsoft Intune MDM solution with IronWorks, and the connection is tested.
Online training in the main IronWorks features then follows, and short videos describing the main features are also available for e-Learning and self-education.
24x7 technical support is also available as part of the service.

End-of-contract data extraction
Users can request data extraction upon which we would create and share a copy of their underlying database data.
End-of-contract process

Alternatively, if the customer verifies in writing their preference not to continue, their account and associated data are deleted. The customer would be expected to remove the local Graph API user from their Microsoft Intune solution at this stage.

Social Value

Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

There is no greater threat to our collective future than climate change. At Bridgeway, we believe that the IT and security industries have a key role to play in promoting sustainable solutions to today’s climate challenges.

Bridgeway strives to act ethically and with integrity in all of our business dealings and relationships. Bridgeway is committed to improving our environmental and sustainability practices in order to preserve and protect our planet for current and future generations.

We always work to the highest ethical standards and comply with all laws, regulations and rules relevant to our business. Our reputation is paramount and we take our Environmental and Sustainability Responsibilities seriously. While much has already been achieved, especially in carbon reduction through the efficient generation of heat and power, as well as the provision of free-to-use electric vehicle charging points. Water and plastic consumption has also been reduced and we’ve improved site management of waste disposal. Yet there remain many areas where further progress can be made.

In particular, Bridgeway is committed to:

• Promoting environmental and sustainability issues and goals

• Reducing our use of non-renewable energy and utilities

• The development of green travel policies and raising awareness about environmental issues.

• Improving the efficiency and effectiveness of our waste management systems

• Striving for Net Zero status by 2025 and beyond.

We realise that our relationships with those we deal with, whether customers, employees, suppliers, or the wider community, are key to our success and as such we take our obligations and commitments seriously. We expect the same high standards from those we work with and we are committed to ensuring that there is an appreciation of our collective environmental and sustainability responsibilities in our supply chains and all parts of our business.
Covid-19 recovery

Covid-19 recovery

During April 2020, Bridgeway assisted a couple of hospitals expanding their MDM projects to repurpose mobile devices for PatientComms.

Thus, Bridgeway became aware of the wider issue facing hospitals (and then care homes) across the UK. Due to pandemic infection control measures, patients and residents weren’t allowed to receive visitors or to receive packages from their loved ones. Thus, patients and residents that had arrived without a mobile phone and charger were being cut off from their families.

We identified an opportunity to bridge this communication gap. In early April 2020, we launched a not-for-profit initiative, Phones for Patients, that would make donation of secure, re-provisioned devices to hospitals and care homes possible.

After donated devices and accessories were collected or delivered to the Bridgeway office, the team rallied together to prepare and redeploy these, all for free. This collaboration and teamwork meant patients and residents were able to remain in contact with friends and family during their stay, and in some sad cases, even be able to say their last goodbyes to their loved ones.

In a collaborative partnership with information security vendors, we implemented workflows which enabled us to wipe, prepare and deploy devices for the recipients, ensuring they were ready to use and fully secure and supported.

We strived to keep patient privacy at the forefront, ensuring Patient Identifiable Information (PII) was encrypted and secured on the devices. If devices were lost or stolen, their confidential data could be remotely wiped too.

All donated devices are permanent donations, meaning after the pandemic, the devices remain with the organisation to pass on to their patients and residents as they see fit.

With the hard work and dedication from volunteers throughout the business, over 9,500 mobile devices were processed and donated to care homes and hospitals across the UK.
Tackling economic inequality

Tackling economic inequality

After the initial success of the Phones for Patients not-for-profit initiative, we moved to register this as a standalone charity to continue this good work.

The Phones for Patients charity constitution was expanded in scope to also cover those in social care settings and those who are shielding as a result of infectious diseases. Our donated devices are therefore often to be found assisting victims of physical and mental health issues, and disproportionately helping those affected by economic inequality.

Bridgeway won the ‘Team of the Year’ award in the UK Business Awards in July 2021 for this project.
Equal opportunity

Equal opportunity

The Company acknowledges its legal and moral obligation both in recruitment and in employment to offer equal opportunities to all persons irrespective of race, disability, sex, pregnancy/maternity, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, age, marital status, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin or religion or similar belief (the “Protected Characteristics”). It is contrary to our legal and moral duties to discriminate against any person on the grounds of any of those matters in respect of his or her terms and conditions of employment and opportunities for training and promotion. The Company also acknowledges that this is a continuous on-going process which must remain under constant review. We are committed to extending protection from discrimination to all groups and without restricting the generality of this commitment, we will deal with aspects of a matter as set out in the following paragraphs.

The Company recognizes that the provision of equal opportunities in the workplace is not only good management practice but that it also makes sound business sense. The Company's equal opportunities policy is designed to help all employees develop their full potential and to ensure so far as is practical that the talents and resources of the workforce are fully utilized to maximize the efficiency of the organization. However, no policy of this sort can properly accommodate all possible circumstances and therefore this document should be seen as creating guidelines only and not contractual obligations on the part of the Company.
Wellbeing

Wellbeing

Bridgeway cares about our employees. We have a regular, audited mental health awareness training course, plus dedicated mental health practitioners on our staff. These, in combination with our HR department, ensure the wellbeing needs of employees are proactively met, engaged with, and supported.
