Opportunity overview

As part of the digital switchover, Connexus Homes Limited are looking for a transformative digital solution to replace its existing scheme alarm provision which is not compatible with the new digital standards within existing schemes to ensure it fully functions once analogue services are switched off. This will mean that vulnerable adults across the schemes will continue to have access to this provision without any interruptions in their service.
