Auros delivers PoliceInformation Net for Scotland

Client profile

The Scottish Police College, a part of the Scottish Police Services
Authority (SPSA), provides expert policing and support services to the country's eight police forces and criminal justice community.

Business need

To create an online version of a mission critical information resource
previously distributed across the Scottish Police forces in CD format.

The new Intranet enables production costs to be reduced, information dissemination lag times to be almost entirely removed and the content update and approval process made significantly more efficient.

What Auros did

Auros delivered an Intranet to be used across all Scottish Police
authorities. This Intranet provides a significantly enhanced information resource capability to Scottish Police through the deployment of PINS, 'The Police Information Net for Scotland'.

The new Intranet is a major training resource and knowledge base for the entire Scottish Police workforce. PINS was deployed in the highly secure British Police data centre.

Auros' remit encompassed full visual design, template development,
content audit and migration support, implementation, training and
ongoing support and maintenance.

 

12k Police officers are using PINS on an operational basis. A very conservative estimate is that this Auros delivered Extranet will save one hour per officer per month. This will equate to a saving in the first 12 months of £3.4m.
