What do you do at Agilisys?
I lead a dynamic team of professionals, all delivering services to Cumbria County Council from our base in Carlisle. The team is split into two distinct areas, one developing both Web and Desktop applications and the other delivering IT training sessions to a number of business areas in the Council.
I also play a key role in defining the strategy for the Cumbria Improvement and Development department. Looking at each of the three teams, System Analysis, Middleware Development and Application Development and identifying the team outputs on a variety of projects.
My position allows me to build strong working relationships with both our customers and other Agilisys employees throughout the country. Mixing all of the above together I feel valued, motivated and enjoy working for Agilisys.
What attracted you to Agilisys?
I TUPE transferred from Cumbria County Council when the Cumbria/Agilisys Partnership was established in early 2005. I was interested in transferring because I knew I could grow more rapidly, increasing my responsibilities, and also expand my experience in Local Government by working with other Agilisys partnered councils to share ideas and best practice. The other attraction was the thought of working with their private sector clients at some stage.
Would you recommend Agilisys as an employer?
Absolutely. In my experience Agilisys is a company with the vision, the drive and the skills that allow us to compete and win contracts against organisations 10 times our size. The partnership model which Agilisys promotes is a breath of fresh air for our customers and means we build strong, sustainable client relationships. I feel this promotes employee security to develop and gain world-class experiences with world-class clients.
