What our clients say about us
“The migration to the Azure platform was a great piece of collaborative work between CDS and the SOH National Digital Team, something that was delivered successfully in a very tight timeline. What I am really looking forward to now is leveraging the technical opportunities this move has opened up for us. We delivered the migration whilst continuing to serve the public and with minimal end user impact. Since migrating we have experienced 100% service uptime which is key when hosting a national platform providing essential services to the UK public.”
“We have partnered with CDS for 6 years and have had a tremendously successful relationship. We hold CDS as the platinum standard to which other suppliers are compared – they are excellent.”
“CDS have been a reliable and trusted partner to work with and provided consistently strong project management throughout the last 18 months. They worked with us to navigate a challenging and changing landscape, ensuring that all project objectives were met against a strict timeline and that our statutory obligations for voter information materials were delivered to polling stations ahead of election day.”
“Middlesex University has partnered with CDS for several years, during which time the print provision at the University has been transformed. CDS strive for continuous improvement and demonstrate professionalism at all times to ensure the University receives the best value for money solution for all our print requirements.”
“I have come to view CDS as a useful virtual addition to our in-house team, with expertise I can quickly call on when a new challenge emerges or when we need to top up on capacity and when we are developing digital marketing solutions.”
