The Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) is expected to improve network security, efficiency and collaboration for Tideway staff.
The 拢4.2bn, 25km Thames Tideway Tunnel is designed to reduce the 39 million tonnes of untreated sewage that, one average, overflows into the Thames each year.
Advanced will provide a portfolio of services, including systems for finance and HR, and business productivity solutions such as SharePoint, Lync and Office 365.
Tideway head of information security Robin Johns said: 鈥淎s the largest infrastructure project ever undertaken by the UK water industry, it goes without saying that we need extremely secure and cost effective managed services. Advanced stood out as being a respected supplier who implicitly understood all of our requirements and could deliver best value.
鈥淗aving a flexible and reliable platform allows us to create a long term IT strategy leading up to and after the completion of the tunnel, in addition to increasing staff productivity.鈥�
