A message from the Home Office on why this partnership matters.

Here's the full story behind it: https://t.co/EnDbktgx6F

We worked with the @ukhomeoffice, @Microsoft, and Rio Ferdinand Foundation on a digital skills and mentoring programme. It was for Year 7 girls at Fairfield High School, Tameside.

The programme included app development and Microsoft Copilot workshops, with mentoring from Phoenix specialists. It closed with a showcase at Microsoft's Manchester office, where the girls presented ideas they'd built themselves.

Here's what Naomi Olumbori, from the Home Office, had to say about the programme.

The girls built their own app concepts using App Lab, took part in Microsoft Copilot and AI workshops, and worked with technology professionals from across the sector. The programme closed with a showcase event at Microsoft's Manchester office.

Cloud spend doesn’t usually become a problem overnight, it builds slowly, one decision at a time.

A new tool here. A few extra licences there. A trial that rolls into a paid subscription without anyone noticing. Without strong cloud spend management, those small decisions turn into ongoing, unnecessary cost.

The challenge isn’t just adoption, it’s visibility. If you can’t clearly see what’s being used and why, you can’t control what you’re paying for.

Our blog explores five of the most common ways SaaS and cloud costs creep up and how to get ahead of them 👉 https://t.co/bw1QDPKhfR

Cloud and SaaS make it easy to move fast but that speed often hides something else: rising costs.

Without strong cloud spend management, spend builds quietly through shadow IT, SaaS trials, unused licences, and overlapping tools. Individually, they’re easy to miss. Together, they create unnecessary waste.

Our latest blog breaks down five common ways cloud and SaaS costs creep up and how to take control before they get out of hand 👉 [link to blog]
