Leading AWS and software development specialist, Leighton, has partnered with the eaga Trust to maintain, modernise and improve the performance of its digital estate.
The long-term partnership will see Leighton take responsibility for the trust’s AWS infrastructure providing strategic guidance to ensure alignment with best practices, as well as capitalising on any cost and efficiency opportunities through architecture modernisation.
Established in 1999, the eaga Trust supports its members and their families by providing funds that allow them to access life-enhancing benefits for example health and wellbeing support, Holiday Homes, an Education Bursary Programme – including funding for degree courses for the children of members, Skill-Builder – funding for work-related training and development, along with services like Will Writing and Serious-Injury Insurance.
Speaking on the partnership Richard Marr, CEO at the eaga Trust said: “This was a really competitive process, what impressed us most about Leighton is the wealth of AWS expertise within their business and their AWS Practice and their genuine interest in our business and what we do.
“Having the Leighton team as a partner will allow us to further improve our digital infrastructure in line with their recommendations and maximise the potential of our AWS estate. It’s fantastic to have them onboard and we’re looking forward to a long and fruitful partnership with them.”
The AWS Practice at Leighton will deliver in-hours support for applications, infrastructure, and websites, maintaining ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus compliance. The agreement also covers Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) service operations, minor enhancements, proactive monitoring, and continuous improvement through quarterly reviews.
Lee Gilmore, AWS Practice Lead at Leighton and AWS Hero said: “We’re delighted to be working with the eaga Trust to optimise their digital footprint. The service that they continue to provide to their members is amazing and to be able to support such a worthwhile organisation based here in the North East is a huge opportunity and something we’re really proud of.
“Our experts within the practice will work closely with the Trust’s internal team to optimise their AWS estate and ensure they’re capitalising on any cost efficiencies available to them. This really is our bread and butter at Leighton and we’re really excited to get going and see what we can achieve together over the course of our partnership.”
James Bunting, CEO at Leighton said: “I’m expecting this partnership to be a brilliant example of what can be achieved when two North East organisations collaborate with a shared focus on making a difference. We are looking forward to using our deep AWS expertise to help the eaga Trust run a modern, secure and cost-efficient platform that enables them to focus on the amazing work they do to support members and their families.”
