Kainos provides digital technology solutions that enable companies to work smarter, faster, better.

We’ve been operating successfully for more than 26 years, and employ over 500 people, with offices in the UK, Ireland and Poland.

Our clients are predominantly in the Public, Healthcare and Financial Services sectors, and include over 150 well-known global organisations and large government departments.

Our people are knowledgeable, enthusiastic and have a work ethic that our clients tell us is unique. They really like working for us: we are consistently recognised as one of the Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For.

We keep abreast of the latest digital technology trends so we can deploy the best tools to meet our clients’ requirements and help them improve how they do business.

We don’t promote technology for technology’s sake: we’re always aware of the commercial imperatives in business. Some of the tools in our kitbag include:

Cloud IntegrationLightening the load – we use cloud technologies to deliver and manage corporate IT systems with the added benefits of cost reduction and increased flexibility. Mobile ComputingWorking at full capacity on the move – we deploy services and

information delivery solutions to enable organisations to mobilise their business applications and information assets consistently and securely.

Application ManagementKeeping the lights on, delivering more for less – we use ITIL–aligned processes to run and optimise enterprise and departmental websites, intranets, and custom- built/off-the-shelf legacy applications.

Agile DevelopmentWorking smarter, faster, better – we use agile development methodologies with their inherent interaction and rapid prototyping to deliver well-designed and easy to use digital solutions that meet our customers’ requirements.

Information ManagementMaking the most of the corporate data asset – we use our extensive expertise in record and document management to provide our clients with a comprehensive and secure view of the information in their enterprise.

IntegrationFlexibility through interconnectivity – we deliver efficient joined-up systems, connected processes and reliable integrated data, a service that is increasingly important as more layers of complexity are added to enterprise IT estates.

What we doKainos currently has five market-facing business units and a corporate function that provides common services.

Government

Kainos provides digital solutions to government departments and agencies in the UK. Our solutions are closely aligned with government priorities: we focus on cost-efficiency and making public online services more accessible and easier to use.

Kainos digital solutions are developed collaboratively with government experts using agile methodologies and – where appropriate – open-source software.

This means our solutions are quicker to deploy and can be reused across the public sector.

Workday

Kainos is a Workday implementation partner, providing management, integration, support and testing services for the Workday SaaS product.

We are part of Workday’s QA testing team, so have a unique insight into existing and planned Workday functionality.

We have developed a range of tools to augment our Workday digital solutions, including our flagship Kainos Smart™ product, an automated testing tool that significantly reduces the testing effort on Workday deployments.

Healthcare

Kainos provides a market-leading comprehensive suite of digital services to healthcare providers such as hospitals and community care organisations.

Our flagship Evolve® Electronic Medical Records (EMR) product automates the creation, capture and handling of medical case notes and operational documents and records allowing healthcare providers to deliver better patient safety and quality of care. Evolve is used in more than 48 hospitals in the UK, helping healthcare providers on their journey to becoming a paperless environment.
