BULLETIN Sabio Group named on CCS framework Sabio Group has been named as a supplier on Crown Commercial Service’s Network Services 3 (NS3) framework. The NS3 framework inclusion comes a few months after Sabio was included in the UK Government’s G-Cloud framework, strengthening its ability to serve the UK public sector as a recognised cloud software and cloud support supplier. This year’s framework, with its enhanced emphasis on ‘cloud first’ connectivity solutions and emerging technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Smart Cities, aligns with Sabio's progressive approach to digital transformation – providing an accessible and effective route for buyers to market all network and communication services. Danny Seaborne, Managing Director for UK, Nordics, and Africa said: “Being named as a supplier on the NS3 framework is a further testimony to our commitment to the highest standards of service and delivery. “Our named supplier status will help to open doors to deeper collaborations with public sector organisations. We’re eager to support them in their digital customer experience transformation journeys.” www.sabiogroup.com 01732 759725 6 Apogee to acquire Datatron Apogee has agreed to acquire Datatron Document Image Archiving Ltd, to further strengthen its outsourced document services scale and capabilities.
