CASE STUDY
Havant Borough Council

Exponential-e awarded
Managed Services Provider contract
by Havant Borough Council
to modernise its IT infrastructure.

Solution

Havant Borough Council sought its own infrastructure following the end of its previous contract and has partnered with Exponential-e to deliver its infrastructure, network and security services, supporting its future digital ambitions.

As part of the agreement, Exponential-e will migrate the Council’s IT systems to a Microsoft Azure Cloud infrastructure and provide a fully integrated solution that encompasses the network and all end user services. These improvements will be key to the Council’s longer-term vision of evolving its IT estate to create a secure, reliable, adaptable environment that enables ongoing innovation and supports the effective delivery of public services.

Data sovereignty was also a key consideration for the Council, with a firm requirement that data be hosted in the UK. All data will be migrated from the Council’s current estate to the new domain featuring a Dedicated Infrastructure as-a-Service (IaaS), Dedicated Firewall Service, Managed LAN and Wi-Fi Services, all wholly owned by the Council.

Exponential-e will also provide ongoing management and support of the estate, including the Council’s 680+ PC and end-user devices, which will soon be upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11. This will be supported by a fully managed service desk and professional services function.

We are excited to partner with Havant Borough Council to deliver a modern and future-ready IT environment that supports future innovation. As an expert with technical ability and proven public sector expertise, our goal is to ensure the Council benefits from enhanced security and improved speed of service delivery to serve residents effectively.
