The project was made possible by a virtual team of over 60 company members, with the Guernsey-based organisation supported by specialists from Agilisys UK, global IT provider Dell, and local businesses JT and Logicalis.
“The new Data Centres represent the foundations of a modern IT service for the States, and are essential for us to deliver our vision for improved public services,” said Sean Cowan, Head of Digital at the States of Guernsey.
“The last six months have seen our joint SMART Guernsey team deliver not only business as usual IT, they have also managed unprecedented demand for changes to IT services as a result of covid-19,”

“Overall, a great testament to what can be achieved through positive partnership working.”
Shona Leavey, Head of IT Services at Agilisys Guernsey, is proud to be a part of modernising States’ services. “The new Data Centres lay the foundations for ‘IT that just works’ for States’ employees, and ensures the future reliability and security of public services for the whole community,” she said.
“It is technology that allows the States to completely re-imagine our public services. We’re proud to be playing a part in making that change happen.”
