SPG's Collaboration with Sovereign Housing
About Sovereign Housing
Sovereign Housing is one of the largest housing associations in the UK, dedicated to providing affordable homes and fostering thriving communities. Managing over 60,000 homes, they are committed to ensuring that everyone has access to a safe and comfortable living environment. Their mission extends beyond housing to include community development and support services, making a significant impact on the lives of their residents.
Objectives
Sovereign Housing aimed to increase the amount of data points they collected to reduce costs and enhance the customer experience. Additionally, they sought to leverage these data insights to streamline their processes and support their mission of building more homes. However, achieving these goals was not straightforward and involved navigating a complex landscape of steps and processes.
SPG's Role
To support Sovereign Housing in their ambitious objectives, SPG undertook several key initiatives. Firstly, we secured their cloud and network environment, implementing robust security measures to protect sensitive data and ensure compliance with industry standards. This enhancement of their IT infrastructure's resilience and reliability was crucial for their operations.
In addition to securing their environment, we collaborated with Sovereign Housing to develop a comprehensive systems strategy. This involved a detailed assessment of their current systems and the formulation of a strategic plan that aligned with their business goals and operational needs. Our assistance in the delivery of this strategy ensured that it was effectively implemented, leading to significant improvements in their processes.
Furthermore, our involvement extended to transformation and resourcing. We facilitated a transformative approach to their IT and operational processes, providing resourcing solutions including Architecture as a Service (A3S). This integration was pivotal in optimizing their efficiency and effectiveness, enabling them to better utilise their resources and achieve their objectives.
Outcomes
Through our partnership, Sovereign Housing was able to optimize their data utilization, making informed decisions that led to cost reductions and enhanced customer satisfaction. The improvements in their processes and systems enabled them to build more homes efficiently, supporting their mission of providing affordable housing. Additionally, the enhanced security measures ensured a secure and compliant IT environment, safeguarding their operations and customer data.
This collaboration exemplifies how strategic IT solutions and robust security measures can drive significant improvements in operational efficiency and customer service in the housing sector. Sovereign Housing's success in achieving their goals highlights the value of a well-executed partnership with SPG.
