British Heart Foundation enlists Rackspace Technology for vital e-commerce project
Rackspace Technology has migrated the British Heart Foundation’s online gift shop to a VMware environment.
The coronavirus pandemic has severely hampered fundraising and retail sales for the charity in 2020.
The BHF has seen a 50% downturn in income this year, forcing it to cut its annual investment in heart research by £50 million.
Its e-commerce sales are a crucial source of income, particularly in the run up to Christmas.
Nicquel Jackson, Technology Project Manager at the BHF, says: “Rackspace Technology was one of the first names we considered for this project because we have a long-standing relationship and were sure it had the capabilities to help.”
She adds: “The key element of this project was the timescales because we had a specific deadline to meet. Rackspace Technology was conscious of those timescales and anything that could potentially delay us, meaning we were able to deliver the project ahead of schedule.”
“This piece of work has supported our online shop to continue raising vital funds for heart research.”
