We went undercover…

The Health Quality and Safety Commission (HQSC) was established in 2010 with a Triple Aim of improving quality, safety and experience of care, by improving health and equity of all populations and getting the best value from the public health system.

A brand new organisation with such an important job, HQSC needed to grow rapidly while handling large quantities of sensitive information.

Over the years Spoke have remained HQSC's trusted partner supporting multiple system updates, delivering new solutions and migrating the intranet and document management solutions from on-premises server platform to Microsoft 365 and SharePoint Online.

​

As part of the extended team Spoke provide regular review of changes to service, impact for the organisation and ongoing guidance around support, adoption and change management when using Office 365 and Microsoft technologies.
