About SunGard Aspiren
SunGard Aspiren is the leading provider of performance improvement technology and consultancy to the UK public and private sectors. We provide tailored software solutions to Central and Local Government, Housing, Health, Fire Services, Police and Education, as well as a number of Partnerships spanning multiple agencies.
We have an outstanding track record of local, regional and large scale national deployments and have won a number of prestigious awards for our innovation. Our cloud-based technology means we are able to cost effectively support both national-scale programmes and the smallest of organisations, while imposing no implementation delay or IT burden on local teams. Anyone with a web browser can use our products immediately. Most organisations see immediate savings through a reduction in internal and external reporting costs, as well as longer term gains from improved performance.
Key to our approach is a focus on collaboration and partnership working, which has been instrumental in the success we have enjoyed with the Ffynnon Programme of performance and knowledge management across Wales, and our involvement with Total Place since its early days. We employ Outcome Based Accountability (http://www.idea.gov.uk/idk/aio/5573454) and other techniques to rapidly help organisations focus on delivering their key outcomes and improve performance within reducing budgets. This is particularly useful in bringing together the various agencies within a partnership to achieve a single view of objectives and the shared ownership of their delivery.
We are also known for our data analytics expertise, which uses mathematical risk modelling to target resources to best effect across a population or caseload, achieving higher success rates with fewer resources. One example of this work has recently been publicised by the Department of Work and Pensions (http://www.dwp.gov.uk/docs/issue-97-jan-2010.pdf), and is already helping a number of local authorities achieve major savings.
