Transforming Healthcare in the UK with Microsoft Teams Premium The healthcare industry in the UK is undergoing a digital transformation, and Microsoft Teams Premium is at the forefront of this change. With features like virtual appointments, intelligent recap, enhanced webinars, and live translation, Teams Premium is revolutionizing the way healthcare professionals collaborate and communicate. Virtual Appointments: The New Norm The pandemic has accelerated the adoption of virtual consultations. Teams Premium makes these appointments seamless, offering high-quality video and audio that make remote consultations as personal and effective as face-to-face meetings. This not only saves time for both patients and healthcare providers but also expands access to care for those in remote areas. Intelligent Recap: Never Miss a Detail Healthcare is detail-oriented, and missing information can have significant consequences. Teams Premium's intelligent recap feature uses AI to provide a summary of meetings, highlighting action items and key points. This saves time for the medical professional writing notes up after calls, and enables them to be more engaged in their meetings Enhanced Webinars: Engaging and Informative Continuing education is vital in healthcare. Teams Premium's enhanced webinars allow for interactive and engaging sessions with features like Q&A, polls, and live reactions. These tools not only make learning more interactive but also more accessible, allowing healthcare professionals to stay updated with the latest advancements without leaving their workplace. Live Translation: Breaking Language Barriers In a diverse country like the UK, language barriers can be a challenge in healthcare. Teams Premium's live translation feature helps overcome this, allowing for real-time translation of conversations and meetings. This ensures clear communication between healthcare providers and patients, leading to better understanding and outcomes. Return on Investment: More Than Just Savings Investing in Teams Premium goes beyond financial savings. It's about investing in better healthcare outcomes, more efficient operations, and improved patient experiences. By reducing travel time for appointments, streamlining administrative processes, and enhancing learning opportunities, Teams Premium offers a significant return on investment. Conclusion: A Step Towards Better Healthcare Microsoft Teams Premium is more than just a tool; it's a step towards a more connected, efficient, and inclusive healthcare system in the UK. By embracing these key functions, healthcare providers can offer better care, improve their operations, and ensure that they're ready for the future of healthcare. #microsoft #cps #TeamsPremium #healthcare . *this post & image was authored with the help of Copilot*

I've just started Martin Sadler's book "Aspirationally Idle"... A title I very much relate too. Martin wrote this from the perspective of a CIO and from a supplier perspective its great to get insight to what a CIO is juggling at any one time. I obviously found the supplier section most interesting, especially the clinical nature of understanding the costs, value and how to make savings If you are an aspiring CIO, CIO or a sales guy looking for insight to mind of CIO its worth a read! https://lnkd.in/eiSvfDHD

"How can you support us and our 8 offices spread across the UK?" This was a recent question from a prospective client who have 8 offices across the UK, with more due to open soon. Funny you should ask! Here's a case study of one of our clients, Bruton Knowles, a national property consultancy that, at the time, operated with 12 offices across the UK. From the outset, Bruton Knowles made their requirements very clear for an IT partner: 🔵 A reliable and trustworthy IT partner 🔵 Commitment to reducing downtime 🔵 A partner who aligns with their business goals 🔵 Dedication to eliminate issues and enable success and growth 🔵 Willingness and ability to go the extra mile 🔵 External IT services delivering in-house standards 🔵 A provider with specialist engineers offering expert advice The result? We didn’t just meet their expectations, we exceeded them! For instance, we reduced their need for technical support contact by 30% 🎉👌 Want to know how Optimising IT | B Corp™ did it?

FINALLY! The boxxe acquisition of Total Computers has officially completed. I got all sentimental about my 7 years as a Total employee and dug into the video archives I now work for one of the UK's top Value Added IT resellers & Managed Service Providers. For those who don't understand IT talk, this basically means that I have become the Bill Gates of Bury. Watch the full video from 2019 on the link in the comments 👇 #IT #computing #harrisonk

Adopt vs Adapt. Birmingham City Council seems to be being used as an example to highlight the importance of "adopting" Oracle's out of the box solution(s) rather than "adapting" and attempting to customise. Business Change is often an overlooked element in transformation programmes. However, it is an essential component to ensuring a successful implementation, post go-live, and user adoption. As one of my consultancy clients highlighted "Oracle implementations are not purely IT Transformations, but Business Transformation too". Hays' Oracle Recruitment Practice is working with several business post go-live to maximise the value they can receive from their Oracle system. If you are business looking to implement/implementing Oracle, or have already implemented and want to optimise your system, reach out. We can supply excellent, proven resources that will ensure a strong ROI on your Oracle investment. https://lnkd.in/gtZC4Qfw

Ensuring flexible workflows through print in the public sector. Across the UK Government and other institutions in the public sector, legacy IT systems remain a big problem. Using outdated technology can not only cause errors or failure to deliver services, but also serious risks when it comes to the security of confidential information and ultimately, the reputation of established organizations. Print continues to play a crucial part in digital infrastructures across the public sector, with the ability to impact long-term productivity, success and resilience. In fact, according to Quocirca, 49% of public sector organisations experienced data losses in 2023 due to unsecure printing.  In order to achieve its ambitious priorities efficiently and securely from decarbonising the economy to Net Zero and Levelling Up the UK in terms of equal opportunity the Government must ensure that legacy IT, including print ecosystems, are replaced with modern devices and software. Great input Ginevra Pedrotti and Thank you techUK

Digital Transformation remains a key priority for many organisations across the UK today. - Eliminating Technology Debt - Delivering new and more streamlined services - Managing big data - Cloud Migration The last 8 weeks have highlighted that these are no longer priorities which can be kicked down the road for later! Proud to be helping so many forward thinking public sector departments such as (Ministry of Justice UK HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS) HM Passport Office, Crown Commercial Service to name a few) to modernise their digital landscape, reduce costs and drive innovation! https://lnkd.in/eDkKdiAC #digitaltransformation #enterprisearchitecture #changemanagement

Developer onboarding. According to IT Jobs Watch, the average UK day rate for a Software Developer is £525. Standard requirements include setting up virtual developer environments, enabling access to the developer portal, authorising use of business applications, automating deployment of containerised apps and databases. With all the authorisations, checks and siloed teams it is not uncommon for this to take anywhere from 2 to 12 weeks. If we take an average of 6 weeks to get a developer setup on the tools they need, this equates to a potential cost per developer of £15,750! With many organisations realising their differentiation is in the IP they develop, many are searching for developers faster than they can hire them. For a large enterprise potentially hiring just 1000 new developers, this could potentially lead to loss of developer productivity of £15.75m. With Nutanix's Internal Developer Platform (IDP) you can automate within minutes access to a virtual developer environment, enable a developer portal with Nutanix or third party services, automate deployment of your containerised applications and provision a wide-range of database engines, wherever you need to run them. Save cost, enable speed and empower your new developers to build your next great apps. Read more here -

What about the SME’s? As a leader at a Yorkshire SME business, yesterday was a hard read with the Labour budget. Big rises in costs in light of already higher cost bases. How will it impact their growth plans? With the increased pressure now for SME’s, it is even more important that Public Sector spend is devolved more fairly to British SME’s. 👌 So I am even more excited to announce our latest framework award news at ACS Group. To all Public Sector procurement in West Yorkshire - lets talk how we can add value, save our tax payer monies and support the SME industry at the same time. ACS group will re group, re set and fight to make sure that framework spend is promoted more equally to British SME’s, and show we can compete with the European and global giants on them. Big up to all the SME’s today in the UK 🙌🏽 Tom Lowe Conrad Flerin Carl Whitham Adam Blades Bradford Council Leeds City Council Kirklees Council Wakefield Council Oldham Council WestYorkshire Police Sheffield City Council Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council Leeds Beckett University University of Leeds University of Bradford The University of Huddersfield #SME #LocalBusiness #GCloud14
