NEW RESEARCH: BJSS 'one to watch' in IT services

Founded in Leeds in 1993, BJSS has grown organically from its roots—two founders doing small bespoke software development projects in the Financial Services sector - to a 550 person ‘full service IT company’ turning over upwards of £50m p.a. Despite its rapid growth, the SME has maintained its entrepreneurial spirit and is renowned for its technical excellence, cost-effective delivery and ‘Enterprise Agile’ ® approach to IT delivery. It’s a fascinating company and definitely ‘one to watch’.

We recently caught up with BJSS to hear how, over the last five years, it has moved from its roots in the UK Financial Services sector into the Government and Healthcare markets with great success. The SME was quick to spot the opportunities in the UK public sector as the National Programme for IT in the NHS (NPfIT) wound down and the Cabinet Office extolled the virtues of working with smaller suppliers. Early wins with the NHS in its home town of Leeds—notably on the NHS Spine 2 and e-Referral Service deals (see NHS IT: learning lessons from ‘Choose & Book’) - paved the way for success in Central government too. Indeed, BJSS has been one of the key beneficiaries of G-Cloud, topping the table of suppliers doing the most business through the government framework in revenue terms (see UK Government G-Cloud: meeting its objectives?). Today BJSS’ biggest client is the DVSA where it’s working alongside fellow SME Kainos, providing the cloud architecture, testing and development services to support the new MOT system under a multi-year managed services contract.
