British Heart Foundation and Rackspace wrap IT modernisation project

Rackspace has helped the British Heart Foundation migrate to Microsoft Azure.

After setting a goal to end heart and circulatory diseases by 2030, the BHF needed infrastructure to modernise its IT and power the scaling of its website – a channel increasingly important for driving fundraising efforts, stakeholder engagement and its online retail business.

The migration to Microsoft Azure was managed by the Rackspace Professional Services team, which worked with the charity from architecture design through to implementation over a six-month period.

“As our IT set up moves from being a service provider to a core part of how we achieve our organisational objectives, both the wider business and the IT team itself has had to adopt a different mindset,” says Mary O’Callaghan, Director of Technology Engagement at the British Heart Foundation.

“A true partnership has been formed with the Rackspace Professional Services team who have supported us at every step of the process with unbiased expertise, deep platform knowledge, and a strong understanding of our operating environment.”
