    Tenant satisfaction with automated processing and faster responsiveness  

      

  • Upgrade

    Complex and outdated legacy infrastructure   
      

  • Boost

    Adoption of smart home solutions for safer, more sustainable and better living experiences  
      

     

  • Safeguard

    Data classification and data loss prevention ensuring no sensitive data is leaked  

"We’re pleased to have worked with CDW in a true partnership approach. The Integrated Technology team were fantastic in designing a solution that worked for us; they took the time to understand what we needed. From there, the transition was very well managed and hand-off points were good.”

 

Paul Bracken

Director of ICT and Digital Business Transformation at Estuary Housing Association

Modernising Housing For The Digital Age

Housing associations provide homes and support for almost six million people around England, while also investing in community services and regeneration. Technology tools enable them to operate more efficiently and effectively and to deliver their social purpose of reinvesting income into building new homes and improving the safety and quality of existing ones. 

  • Drive Transformation

    Build trust and improve perceptions and experiences with solutions designed to improve access to data, speed up response time, and identify issues before they become problems.

  • Streamline Communications

    Leverage unified communication tools and cloud-based solutions to streamline and centralise communications.

  • Automate Processes

    Implement intelligent automation and robotic process automation (RPA) technologies to eliminate manual tasks, reduce human error, and improve operational efficiency.

  • Ensure Compliance

    Use advanced compliance management systems and data analytics to enable housing associations to proactively monitor, track, and report on compliance requirements.

  • Predict Maintenance

    Manage common housing issues like mold and damp and boiler performance with data management systems that analyse patterns and provide alerts to issues.

  • Decarbonisation

    Implement more sustainable solutions like cloud outsourcing and tech recycling schemes to reduce carbon footprint.
