25 years inside UK councils. Not a new entrant.
Agilisys is an AI-powered technology partner for local government. We build software inside real councils, consult on the hardest transformation challenges, and run the infrastructure underneath. Employee-owned. Outcome-accountable. Built for the long term.
From managed services to AI-powered technology partner
Agilisys was founded in 1998 with a single mission: make technology work for public services. For the first two decades, that meant running IT infrastructure for councils — keeping systems up, networks secure, and staff productive. We were good at it. Bolton, Sefton, Wigan, and Reading trusted us with their entire IT estate for 25+ years. In 2026, we moved our headquarters from London to Wigan — because that’s where the work is.
In 2015, Agilisys became an Employee Ownership Trust. That changed who we answer to — not external shareholders looking for a quick return, but the people who do the work. It aligned incentives: when a council succeeds, our employee-owners succeed. That matters when you’re asking someone to embed in your organisation for a decade.
From 2022, we started building AI inside councils — not as a science project, but to solve real statutory problems. EHCP backlogs. Needs assessment paperwork. Meeting minutes that never get written. We co-create with frontline staff, prove it works in live services, then make it available to everyone else. That’s how we became an AI-powered technology partner — not by rebranding, but by building products that work.
