JBi Digital partners with Rackspace Sovereign Government Cloud to offer advanced solutions for customers in the government services sector.

Outcome

JBi Digital's partnership with Rackspace Technology yielded strong results. The agency rapidly scaled its environment virtual machines in just a couple of months, showcasing its newfound agility in the government sector. JBi Digital also quickly mastered the intricate public sector IT requirements in the UK, including adhering to strict government security frameworks such as the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) guidelines and meeting the compliance standards mandated by G-Cloud and the Public Services Network (PSN). By working in tandem on this project, JBi Digital and Rackspace were able to confidently navigate these regulations without needing to build this specialized knowledge from scratch.

Despite a challenging timeline, the company was able to set up the new environment and migrate the client's systems with minimal downtime. The agency successfully navigated all necessary regulations and compliance requirements, positioning itself as a trustworthy partner for future public-sector projects.

JBi Digital now possesses the infrastructure required to support multiple government clients, significantly strengthening its market position. This capability, combined with the knowledge and experience gained, has opened new avenues for growth.

The collaboration with Rackspace has also provided access to a high level of expertise. "When we engaged initially with Rackspace Technology, I noticed the level of expertise was off the scale," said Asa Fisk, Tech Lead at JBi Digital. "It's not like anything I've seen at any other providers. So, we get the expert that we need at the time we need it, advising us and guiding us every step of the way."

Fisk further emphasized the benefits of working with Rackspace. "It helps that Rackspace understands the constraints that JBi Digital are working in,” he said. “Because any solution that is proposed straight away meets those constraints. It saves a lot of time, and we get straight to the point in solutions."

The success of this project has already led to discussions about additional government contracts, cementing JBi Digital’s strong position in this sector. The agency's innovative approach to digital solutions, enhanced with advanced security and compliance capabilities, creates a powerful offering for government agencies looking to modernize their digital presence.

"We've got the determination and tenacity to stick with that customer as a partner, to work through the complexities of the additional compliance requirements that they might have," said Fisk.

JBi Digital’s venture into government services has significantly improved its overall capabilities. As a result, the agency now brings heightened security and compliance standards to its private sector clients as well.

JBI Digital continues to grow in this area and has recently started a new application transformation project involving new virtual machines, paving the way for future innovations in the government sector.
