New cross-party partnership will explore how secure digitisation and better records management can help public bodies improve services.
Restore plc has joined The Purpose Coalition in a new partnership. Chaired by Rt Hon Justine Greening, former Secretary of State for Education, The Purpose Coalition will support Restore in exploring how secure digitisation and better records management can help public bodies improve services while managing growing financial and operational pressures.
Restore is a UK-owned and operated provider of records management and digitisation services, supporting organisations to manage, protect and access their information. This partnership will draw on this expertise to demonstrate that greater efficiency and stronger information security go hand in hand.
Together, Restore and The Purpose Coalition will produce an Unlocking Public Value report examining barriers to modernising public sector records, including physical storage demands, inconsistent digitisation and fragmented funding.
Rt Hon Justine Greening, Chair of The Purpose Coalition, said:
“Effective public services are fundamental to improving opportunity. Whether someone is accessing healthcare or seeking support from their local council, the quality and responsiveness of those services can make a real difference to their life.
“We look forward to working with Restore to explore how better information management can support the people delivering these services. By bringing together practical experience and perspectives from across the public sector, we can identify ways to reduce unnecessary costs, strengthen security and release resources to improve outcomes for patients and communities.”
Charles Skinner, CEO of Restore plc, said:
“Every public service runs on information. It decides how quickly a patient is seen or how quickly a resident gets an answer. When records are hard to find or costly to store, people feel it. We’re delighted to be partnering with The Purpose Coalition. Our Unlocking Public Value report will look at what’s holding public sector records back. That includes storage costs, inconsistent digitisation and fragmented funding. Our aim is practical. We want to help public bodies cut costs, protect information and give staff more time for the people they serve.”
