- How the setup or migration service works
- When assisting you with the transition to cloud services or migrating between cloud platforms, the focus on Adoption and Change Management (ACM) is crucial to ensure a smooth and effective move. Initially, we engage with stakeholders to understand their specific needs, objectives, and concerns, tailoring the migration strategy to align with your business goals. This involves detailed planning sessions where we map out the migration process, emphasising minimal disruption to operations and ensuring data integrity. A vital part of the ACM process is comprehensive training and support, designed to familiarise users with the new cloud environment. This includes hands-on workshops, easy-to-follow guides, and ongoing support channels, enabling users to leverage the full potential of cloud technology confidently. We prioritise clear, consistent communication throughout the migration journey, providing regular updates and being responsive to feedback and concerns. This ensures that all team members are on board, understand the benefits, and can adapt to changes seamlessly. Moreover, we implement feedback loops to capture user experiences and address any issues promptly, fostering a culture of continuous improvement. By emphasising user adoption and efficient change management, we facilitate a smoother transition, ensuring that you can quickly realise the cloud's benefits.

Fighting climate change
At CPS, we take our environmental impact seriously. We are measuring and reducing our carbon emissions and have set a progressive target to reduce emissions 50% by 2030 and achieve Net Zero by 2050. This involves the continuation of various measures and activities, already being implemented and embraced by our people, for example: the continued maintenance of our ISO:14001 accreditation, meetings via Microsoft Teams, a “Think Local” approach to sourcing quality suppliers, the implementation of an electric vehicle scheme and cycle to work programme, and maintaining a paperless office. Moving forward, our commitment to reduced carbon emissions will continue to grow with the implementation of further measures such as: the introduction of a Sustainable Travel Policy to support employee behavioural change to business travel, commuting and parking, introducing a remote working policy alongside the reduction of office space to encourage remote working and reduce travel to office, and the roll out of carbon training to all our colleagues.Covid-19 recovery
As CPS navigates the post-pandemic era, we remain committed to bolstering the UK's economic revival and ensuring the well-being of our employees. Our procurement strategy prioritises UK-based suppliers, circulating capital within the local economy. To accommodate the new normal, we've reimagined our workspace design, focusing on flexible environments that foster collaboration and innovation while ensuring safety. We've enhanced our mental health support programs, acknowledging the profound impact COVID-19 has had on mental well-being. Additionally, our professional development initiatives have been recalibrated to equip our workforce with the skills necessary for a digital-first economy, thereby ensuring their growth and adaptability. By implementing remote working options, we are sustaining productivity and contributing to reducing commuter congestion, supporting a greener economy. Our approach is holistic – we are enhancing our business operations and nurturing our workforce to be stronger, resilient, and future-ready.Tackling economic inequality
CPS champions economic equality by considering local employment alongside UK wide recruitment, helping communities in our local areas, while fostering equitable growth. Our apprenticeship schemes unlock career opportunities, offering hands-on experience that cultivates skilled professionals across diverse socio-economic backgrounds. Alongside this, our graduate programmes are designed to nurture emerging talent, providing the essential tools for success in a dynamic marketplace. These initiatives stand at the core of our commitment to inclusivity, propelling opportunity and progression as shared values within our society. Through these efforts, CPS asserts its role as a responsible corporate citizen, actively shaping a more equitable and balanced economy.Equal opportunity
CPS steadfastly upholds an inclusive work environment, endorsing equal opportunity and safeguarding against all forms of unlawful discrimination — whether based on ethnicity, gender, pregnancy, marital status, gender identity, disability, faith, age, or sexual orientation. Our policy is designed to dismantle any prejudiced practices, fostering an ethos where diversity is not only respected but is integral to our collective success. Our aim extends beyond our internal operations to ensure equitable access to our services and products for all clients and customers, affirming our belief in respect and dignity for every individual we engage with. In alignment with our Data Protection Policy, we manage all personal data with the utmost integrity. The goals of this policy are clear: to eradicate discrimination, ensuring compliance with the Equality Act 2010. We are committed to fair practices in all HR processes, from hiring to promotion, and from professional development to compensation. Decisions are based solely on individual ability, achievements, expertise, and efficiency. This commitment reflects our ongoing dedication to meritocracy and the fair treatment of all employees and stakeholders in line with the most current UK government guidelines.Wellbeing
CPS is at the forefront of championing the health and wellbeing of our team, underscoring the significance of both physical and mental health across all levels of our operations. Our commitment to fostering a positive workplace culture is evident in our modern, flexible working strategies. These include: - Hybrid working models, which empower our employees to deliver exceptional results from any location within the UK, harnessing the benefits of both office-based and remote working to enhance productivity and work-life balance. - The implementation of a 9-day working fortnight, offering our staff a well-deserved break every second Friday, ensuring rest and recuperation which is integral to sustained performance and employee satisfaction. - Comprehensive healthcare provisions that encompass mental health support, reflecting our recognition of the importance of holistic health for our staff's overall wellbeing. These measures are part of our continuous effort to adapt to the evolving work landscape, reinforcing our dedication to the prosperity and resilience of our employees and, by extension, the organisations we serve.
