Centralis Customers & Solutions: The NHS & Emergency Services
		Publics sector spending restrictions mean that the emergency services and the NHS are under huge pressure to deliver "more with less" so the justification for any spend has to be significant savings or improved productivity. Centralis has helped many organisations successfully move to flexible working and shared services -  transformation projects which have scored highly on both counts. Committed to partnership and best value, Centralis offers independence, strategic advice and an established reputation for delivering on time and on budget.

	" Previously, enabling healthcare professionals at new sites was a time-consuming, complex and arduous process. By working in close partnership with Centralis, we’ve been able to create a secure remote environment that enables clinicians to have access to the applications they require, but at the same time enforce the highest level of security for confidential patient records. "	John Reed, Director of ICT, Royal Marsden Hospital
	" We needed an adaptable and flexible solution.  The system allows us to restrict printing or local saving of data, ensuring we can protect sensitive information while allowing people to be productive when not based in the office. "	Tracey Hipperson, Head of ICT, Cambridgeshire Constabulary
