Connect has worked successfully in partnership with Hewlett Packard on a range of activities for many years. 1992 marked the beginning of our partnership with the launch of the highly successful Internet archive of public-domain software - a project that Connect established for Hewlett Packard and continues to manage and develop through support from them. Having worked together on a variety of projects from community-focused activities through to training programmes, Hewlett Packard continues to be a valuable strategic partner for Connect.

Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council:

Connects partnership with Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council began in 1997 when both organisations were partners in the successful Capital Challenge bid to establish the Community Information Programme in Knowsley. One of the main aims of the programme was to provide for the electronic delivery of council information and services. The success of this work is widely recognised - the Knowsley website has won several major awards including the Global Bangemann Challenge 1999 (Local Government section). Knowsley Council and Connect continue to work on a range of Internet-related projects with Knowsley providing a valuable forum for piloting Connects local government solutions.

Telewest: Connect and Telewest have worked together on a number of projects to provide Internet access at various venues in the Merseyside region. One such project - the Connect-to-Libraries community access centres run by Connect - provides services to individuals and businesses in the local area.

Other Partners Connect has also worked in partnership with a range of service organisations to provide the technical expertise that complements their strengths. For example, if you are one of the growing number of design agencies now offering web design as part of your portfolio, Connect can provide the technical input that will enable you to deliver the more sophisticated, yet cost effective Internet solutions required by your clients. We can also provide services that will add value to your portfolio - from registering your clients site with the major search engines, to providing a professional hosting service. Connect can also work with Internet Service Providers to extend the portfolio of services they offer their business customers.
