Case Study: Telford and Wrekin Council streamlines secure information sharing with Core Technology Systems and SharePoint

Telford and Wrekin Council streamlines secure information sharing with Core Technology Systems

Telford and Wrekin Council, a unitary local authority, needed a secure method to electronically share confidential information with external health and social care agencies. Their challenge was to ensure sensitive data was protected from unauthorized access and to maintain a full audit trail to comply with government regulations, as they could not rely on insecure email networks or the government's secure network for all partners.

Core Technology Systems implemented a secure SharePoint extranet solution. This system allowed the council to store documents in a central repository and notify authorized external users via email to log in and download specific files. The solution provided by Core Technology Systems significantly streamlined communication, reduced the reliance on postal and courier services, saved on software licensing costs, and ensured full compliance with data security legislation.
