Nine of Advanced's solutions will be available on the G-Cloud iii's online Cloudstore, from May 2013. G-Cloud iii is the third iteration of the UK Government framework, which is designed to promote the adoption of cloud-computing in the public sector. The framework includes CloudStore, an online catalogue which displays cloud services and gives public sector bodies the option to choose services which best fit their needs. This makes the procurement process faster, more cost-effective and more transparent. Dean Dickinson, Managing Director of Advanced Business Solutions says: "Customer interest in cloud has grown significantly over the last year and Advanced is proud to have been selected to be able to offer cloud services on the latest G-Cloud iii. "This opportunity allows us to extend our service offerings to public sector organisations, and provides a unique way for them to procure IT services without the lengthy tendering process, enabling them to increase efficiencies sooner." Through growth and recent company acquisitions, Advanced has been able to extend its cloud portfolio from two services to nine. These services include: ERP on Demand, Infrastructures as a Service, Cloud Support Services, e-Procurement Solutions, e-Recruitment, e-Recruitment for the NHS, Cloud Data Capture Services, Facilities Management and Cloud Invoicing. The G-Cloud iii services can be found by searching for 'Advanced Business Solutions' on the Government CloudStore.
