Planning

Planning service
Yes
How the planning service works
Firstly, we conduct a thorough analysis of their existing infrastructure ensuring seamless integration with the proposed cloud solution. This involves examining their current IT setup, including hardware, software, and architecture, to identify any potential compatibility issues or optimisation opportunities.

Secondly, we delve into an assessment of internal skill sets within the organisation to gauge the capacity for maintaining and managing the new cloud service effectively. This involves identifying any skill gaps that may need to be addressed through training or recruitment to ensure smooth operations post-implementation.

Next, we conduct a thorough cost analysis of the proposed cloud hosting or software service, comparing it against alternative options to ensure competitive pricing and potential cost savings. This includes evaluating factors such as subscription fees, storage costs, and scalability options to provide a clear understanding of financial implications.

We'll explore cloud-based infrastructure options available in the market, considering factors such as reliability, security, and scalability to recommend the most suitable solution.

Lastly, we develop a robust service design model that aligns seamlessly with the buyer's existing IT infrastructure and service model. This involves mapping out workflows, user roles, and data flows to ensure a smooth transition and minimal disruption to operations.

Setup or migration service available
Yes
How the setup or migration service works
Our process begins with a detailed analysis of the your existing services and the data/assets they host. This involves assessing the current infrastructure, applications, and data architecture to identify dependencies, compatibility issues, and migration challenges.

Next, we develop a detailed migration plan and mapping strategy, outlining the step-by-step process for transitioning from the existing service to the new cloud-based solution. This includes mapping data flows, configuring network settings, and ensuring data integrity and security throughout the migration process.

Throughout the migration project, our dedicated project management team provides continuous support and stakeholder engagement to ensure clear communication, alignment of objectives, and timely resolution of any issues that may arise.

From a technical standpoint, our experienced team of cloud engineers and specialists oversee each step of the migration process, ensuring adherence to NSCS (National Cyber Security Centre) standards and principles. This includes implementing robust security measures, data encryption protocols, and access controls to safeguard sensitive information during the migration.

Finally, we conduct thorough end-to-end testing at each stage of the migration process to validate functionality, performance, and data integrity, minimising the risk of disruptions and ensuring a seamless transition for the buyer.

Quality assurance and performance testing

Quality assurance and performance testing service
Yes
How the quality assurance and performance testing works
We conduct thorough end-to-end testing using a combination of automated and manual testing techniques. This includes functional testing to verify that all features and functionalities of the service operate as intended, regression testing to ensure that new updates or changes do not adversely affect existing functionalities, and integration testing to validate the interaction between different components of the system.

In addition to traditional testing methods, we prioritise user testing to gather valuable feedback and insights from real users. This involves engaging with end users from diverse backgrounds and demographics, as well as users who may require assistive technologies, to evaluate usability, accessibility, and overall user experience.

Furthermore, our performance testing procedures involve rigorous evaluation of system performance, scalability, and reliability under various conditions. We measure performance metrics such as response times, throughput, and resource utilisation to identify any bottlenecks or performance issues and optimise system performance accordingly.

Throughout the testing process, we also compare performance metrics against predefined Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) established at the outset of the project. This allows us to track progress, identify areas for improvement, and ensure that the service meets or exceeds performance expectations.

Fighting climate change

As a ISO14001 accredited organisations, we are deeply committed to combating climate change through a multifaceted approach integrated into our service provision. Our commitment begins with the fundamental ethos of our service design, which emphasises efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability. By prioritising quality service design, we aim to optimise resource utilisation, reduce waste generation, and minimise environmental impact across our operations.

One key aspect of our strategy involves the adoption of environmentally friendly architecture and infrastructure. We leverage cloud-based technologies and data centres powered by renewable energy sources whenever feasible, thereby reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions associated with traditional on-premises infrastructure. Additionally, our development processes prioritise lightweight, scalable solutions that minimise resource requirements and maximise energy efficiency.

As a paperless organisation, we have implemented digital workflows and document management systems to minimise paper usage and promote eco-friendly practices. By embracing digital alternatives to traditional paper-based processes, we significantly reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to forest conservation efforts.

Furthermore, our commitment to remote work practices aligns with our sustainability goals by reducing commuting-related emissions and promoting a healthier work-life balance for our team members. By embracing telecommuting and virtual collaboration tools, we minimise the environmental impact of our operations while enhancing employee satisfaction and productivity.

In addition to our internal initiatives, we actively engage with industry stakeholders and advocate for sustainable practices within the digital sector. Through strategic partnerships, knowledge sharing, and advocacy efforts, we promote the adoption of green technologies and best practices across our ecosystem.

Covid-19 recovery

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we swiftly adapted its operations to support recovery efforts while prioritising the health and well-being of our team. As a cloud-based company, we seamlessly transitioned to remote work, ensuring business continuity while safeguarding our workforce. Robust communication channels and collaboration tools facilitated open dialogue and community among our dispersed team, including an instant messaging group for non-work-related engagement.

Mental health support was a priority, with appointed mental health first aiders and regular check-ins to provide guidance and assistance. Virtual quizzes, coffee mornings, and social activities promoted morale and well-being. A dedicated hub for COVID-19 information ensured access to updates, while a ""camera-on"" policy enhanced engagement in virtual meetings.

For the return to the office, comprehensive safety measures were implemented, including touchpoint removal, sanitising stations, social distancing, and clear signage. A hybrid working model and rotational schedules accommodated varying preferences. Moving forward, we remain committed to supporting recovery efforts by sustaining these initiatives. Through ongoing communication, collaboration, and prioritisation of well-being, we aim to navigate the challenges of the post-pandemic landscape while maintaining our vibrant company culture and ensuring the success of our team.

Tackling economic inequality

In addressing economic inequality, we foster opportunities for growth and inclusion. Our subsidiaries, primarily start-ups and SMEs, receive support through access to digital workplace applications and professional IT services, enabling them to thrive in the digital economy. Our recruitment practices prioritise inclusivity, with alternative assessment methods such as video calls and written assessments tailored to accommodate diverse learning and communication styles, ensuring equitable access to opportunities.

We invest in homegrown talent through our award-winning apprenticeship program, recognised for its impact on shaping new digital apprenticeship standards. This initiative not only fosters personal and professional development but also creates sustainable job opportunities within the IT sector. Over 45% of our workforce are current or former apprentices, with several rising to leadership positions, including 50% of our board.

Our robust learning and development framework ensures continuous growth for all employees, offering role-specific training, professional accreditations, and internal cross-skilling opportunities. Collaborations with local educational institutions enrich our talent pipeline, providing work experience, career guidance, and mentorship opportunities.

Through transparent reporting and community engagement initiatives, we demonstrate our commitment to social responsibility and economic empowerment. Our holistic approach to talent development and community outreach aligns with government priorities, contributing to a more inclusive and resilient economy.

Equal opportunity

We are committed to fostering diversity and inclusion within our organisation. While exempt from gender pay gap reporting due to our size, we proactively ensure gender equality, with 65% of our workforce being female. As an equal opportunities employer, we prioritise inclusivity and diversity at every level, striving to create a diverse, inclusive, and sustainable organisation.

Our efforts extend beyond gender equality to encompass broader societal challenges. We actively support initiatives to address economic inequality, partnering with start-ups and SMEs to foster economic growth and create opportunities. Through our award-winning apprenticeship program, we invest in developing talent, providing opportunities for career progression and succession planning.

Additionally, we are committed to social responsibility, actively engaging with local communities through work experience programs, career advice, and mentorship. We are dedicated to ensuring fair and ethical practices across our supply chains, working to eradicate modern slavery and human trafficking.

By championing equality, diversity, and sustainability, Invuse contributes to building a more inclusive and socially responsible society, aligning with government priorities and social value themes. Our dedication to these principles underscores our commitment to making a positive impact on both our workforce and the broader community.

Wellbeing

At Invuse, the health and wellbeing of our employees is paramount. We offer comprehensive mental health support through our team of qualified Mental Health First Aiders and our Employee Assistance Programme, available 24/7, 365 days a year, offering confidential support and access to online resources.

In addition to these core services, we actively promote wellbeing through initiatives such as Mental Health Awareness month, regular blogs, and 'Walking Wednesdays' for lunchtime walks. We foster a sense of community with engaging activities like breakfast clubs, lunch and learns, virtual coffee mornings, and recreational events like table-tennis tournaments and 5-a-side football.

Our commitment to work-life balance is evident through our encouragement of openness, collaboration, and engagement at all levels. Weekly company-wide meetings allow us to discuss goals and achievements, while monthly 'Rate My Team' sessions enable feedback and support for individuals and teams.

Furthermore, our involvement in open-source technology reflects our dedication to transparency and knowledge sharing. By contributing to open-source projects and adhering to open standards, we not only drive innovation but also promote employee skill development and community engagement.

Through these initiatives, we aim to create a diverse, inclusive, and sustainable organisation where every employee feels supported, valued, and empowered to thrive.
