Black Marble and West Yorkshire FRS Go for Growth

May 1, 2011

Black Marble’s work with the West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service has been highlighted in a Management Today supplement.

Featured as the cover story in this supplement, it once again emphasises the benefits to the West Yorkshire FRS from Black Marble’s skills with the Microsoft platform, and in particular SharePoint 2010.

The article demonstrates how remote team working is now easier than ever because of new server technologies and mobile web access for West Yorkshire FRS.

Darren Stone, IT manager at West Yorkshire FRS wanted a system that could be made available to different organisations 24 hours a day, and following work carried out by Black Marble, they decided to standardise on Microsoft technologies.

Some of the benefits to the Service for using SharePoint include:

• Central location for business information
• Development platform for new applications
• User-friendly tools require little extra training
• Collaboration opportunities with other services
