The Bank of England has appointed Appvia as a partner to assist in design, construction and assurance of a new cloud environment. This follows a public procurement process that commenced in January 2020. The Bank of England will work with London-based cloud-native delivery platform Appvia on design, construction and assurance of a modern, fit for purpose cloud environment.
During the two-year partnership, Appvia will be supporting development and project teams within the Bank in testing and deploying code in cloud environments, working with security teams to integrate the cloud into existing operational and security processes; and implementing information governance compliance so staff are able to collaborate safely and securely.
Oliver Tweedie, head of Digital Platforms at the Bank of England, said in a statement that Appvia has a wealth of experience delivering cloud services within government: “Working in collaboration with bank technology teams, Appvia will help us shape and build the future of cloud services across our organization – a key part of our technology strategy.”
Jon Shanks, CEO and co-founder of Appvia, said in a statement, “As the public sector starts to harness the power of Kubernetes, creating a fit-for-purpose cloud environment and culture within institutions is a vital piece of the puzzle.”
