Welcome

Welcome to July's edition of Analysts Matter, produced by CustomerClix. The newsletter is circulated to people worldwide with an interest in Analyst Relations.

On Thu 2nd Jun 2011, my funny, energetic, inimitable Dad died. He had Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). So, in tribute to my Dad, on Sun 31st Jul 2011, the amazing Justin Speake is doing the hugely impressive Ironman UK Triathlon (Swim: 2.4 miles; Bike: 112 miles; Run: 26.2 miles). Justin has never done a triathlon before and, with only a couple of weeks to go, has done no running, little swimming and only one bike ride. Oh and he needs to lose c20lbs. He has volunteered to do it though for a very worthy cause; my Dad's Fund: The Stanley Crosby Breath of Life Tribute Fund with the British Lung Foundation . Please give generously to (a) aid vital research into lung disease; and (b) encourage Justin to keep safe and finish. He needs all the encouragement that we can muster. Thank you.

With warmest wishes,

Kim Crosby

Focus on... Severne

Headquartered in the United Kingdom, analysts at Severne provide an in-depth view of how UK public services are being re-shaped.

Given that public services are in a state of dramatic change driven by severe cuts in revenue and capital budgets, Severne focuses on the following:

* How services are being delivered, who is delivering them and the outcomes.

* New models of service delivery, new ideas and new thinking.

* Why public bodies decide to out-source, in-source or share services, create joint ventures or trading companies. 

* The trading activities of the public sector, both how they trade with suppliers and how public sector owned trading companies operate.

Severne was founded by Peter Clarke, an UK public sector analyst, with a special interest in the delivery of services by local government, the National Health Service (NHS) and the Police. Peter has been involved with the public sector, in one capacity or another, for over 30 years and, indeed for 8 years, was a London Borough Councillor.

Peter's heritage in the political arena and scrutinising the public sector over a long period of time has given him, as an analyst, a unique insight into this market. Whilst the UK has a private healthcare sector, the majority of healthcare is provided by the public sector via the NHS (the UK's largest employer). The recession has prompted politicians to review the workings of the NHS and other aspects of the public sector; big changes are afoot. Thus, having access to pertinent intelligence becomes of critical importance to technology-related companies that target this key sector.
