Delivering the Prison Technology Transformation Programme
As part of its modernisation initiative, the MoJ planned a comprehensive IT upgrade involving enhancing hardware and network infrastructure, whilst providing training for over 60k+ staff
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) had a vision to
provide staff across the prison service with modern technology solutions that are a pleasure to use, and which make their duties easier to perform.
To achieve their modernisation goals, the MoJ initiated a large-scale migration project for over 60,000 Her Majesty’s Prison Service (HMPS) users, encompassing staff from both central headquarters and 122 prisons across the estate. The project aimed to transition users to Microsoft Office 365 and related Windows 10 cloud-based solutions.
The comprehensive migration plan included:
- Deploying new hardware and physical devices
- Upgrading network infrastructure
- Migrating email systems
- Providing on-site training for all users
- Decommissioning outdated legacy equipment.
This ambitious undertaking was designed to overhaul the entire IT ecosystem, enhancing efficiency and security across the prison service.
