About Young Lives Vs Cancer
As the UK’s premier cancer charity for the young, Young Lives vs Cancer is at the vanguard of support, providing comprehensive assistance to children, adolescents, and their families in their fight against cancer. With a network of specialized care teams throughout the UK, the charity ensures that from diagnosis onward, every family is embraced with the steadfast support they require.
Young Lives vs Cancer is not only committed to immediate care; it is dedicated to understanding and combating childhood and adolescent cancer through rigorous research. Its mission extends beyond aiding those directly affected, to enveloping their families in a circle of support, every step of the way.
The Challenge
Young Lives vs Cancer identified the critical need to modernise their outdated IT infrastructure. The IT department set goals to enhance service delivery to the organisation, mitigate risks, and improve both cost efficiency and performance. To meet these goals, they opted to embrace cloud-based technologies, aiming to reduce both the costs and complexity of their infrastructure. This decision marked Young Lives vs Cancer’s bold foray into the new realm of cloud services, representing a significant, albeit necessary, transformation.
The shift to cloud technology led the IT team to confront three essential questions:
- How would the technical impact of cloud delivery compare to traditional methods?
- What are the service implications of transitioning to cloud technology?
- What kinds of commercial and contractual arrangements should be anticipated in this evolving environment?
CLIC Sargent needed a partner who would help streamline their transition to the cloud and answer three essential questions:
- How would the technical impact of cloud delivery compare to traditional methods?
- What are the service implications of transitioning to cloud technology?
- What kinds of commercial and contractual arrangements should be anticipated in this evolving environment?
The Nephos Solution
The solution to Young Lives vs Cancer’s challenge unfolded in carefully planned stages, starting with defining the technological and service requirements. The collaboration with Young Lives vs Cancer was crucial to map out their needs in an RFP to effectively transition from traditional infrastructure to a cloud-based model.
Once the tender process was underway, our teams focused their efforts on supporting the charity to objectively evaluate potential cloud service providers by creating a bespoke scoring system . This thorough evaluation process ensured that each proposal was closely reviewed, focusing on meeting the service requirements. The final critical phase was the shortlisting of suppliers. Through detailed analysis, the team selected providers that met both technical and service specifications and aligned with the organisation’s values and mission. This selection process showed the thoroughness and effectiveness of our approach, ensuring Young Lives vs Cancer partnered with the best for its cloud transformation.
