The NHS Common User Interface (CUI) Programme is a partnership between NHS Connecting for Health (CfH) and Microsoft. One aspect of the NHS CUI Programme is the production of specific guidance and tools to aid NHS organisations to develop a standard workstation and server infrastructure. This makes it easier to maintain a more consistent environment for end users and in turn increases their productivity.

For the past three years Konsultancy have been actively involved in using this best practice guidance. This means that Konsultancy not only has many years of experience in Microsoft technologies but also how best it should be deployed within the NHS. Using the guidance, Konsultancy is able to rapidly deliver high quality solutions in a repeatable fashion, keeping the time required to a minimum and as such reducing the cost involved in infrastructure projects.

As a Microsoft Partner who has extensive experience in the use of this guidance, Microsoft invited Konsultancy to speak about this at an internal Microsoft event. Click here for more details.

The guidance available covers a number of Microsoft technologies including:

Active Directory including design and migration

Group Policy including downloadable templates and the use of AGPM

NHS Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2010

Microsoft 2007 Office System deployment and migration

Forefront Client Security deployment and operations

Virtualization including App-V and Hyper-V
