("Cloud Industry Forum" ),''Outsourcery website''〕 Outsourcery's Co-CEO, Piers Linney, has become better known since undertaking a two-year stint as a 'Dragon' on series 11 and 12 of the BBC Two television programme, Dragons' Den. Linney announced his departure from the show on 30 January 2015.〔Dragons' Den departure. ("Piers Linney announces departure from Dragons' Den" ), ''The Express'', London, 30 January 2015.〕 == History == Outsourcery’s origins date from 1997 when the business initially provided mobile solutions to UK organisations. Piers Linney and Simon Newton acquired the business and assets of Genesis Communications – an established business-to-business mobile voice and data reseller. In the same year, Genesis acquired an early stage Microsoft application hosting company, Servelogic Limited, enabling it to enter the hosted services market. Between 2007 and 2010, the company saw revenue for cloud-based services grow from zero to over £4 million and the legacy business was subsequently sold through two transactions during 2011 for a total of £15 million. Outsourcery's Board is led by Ken Olisa OBE (Non-Executive Chairman), along with Piers Linney (Co-founder and Co-CEO), Simon Newton (Co-founder and Co-CEO), Andrew Burton (Non-Executive Chairman) and Jane Hill (Non-Executive Chairman). On 24 May 2013, Outsourcery was admitted to London's Alternative Investment Market (AIM).〔AIM Information ("Outsourcery Overview" ),''Outsourcery website''〕 The sale of the legacy mobile distribution business was completed on 3 September 2013. On 6 November 2013, Outsourcery announced that it had partnered with Dell to design and deploy a secure cloud-based system. The announcement follows Outsourcery's agreement with Microsoft to lead its UK initiative to accelerate the offering of cloud services for the UK public sector, in particular central government. Outsourcery's O-Cloud platform is now certified to run government classified information at OFFICIAL and OFFICIAL SENSITIVE over the internet. This gives Outsourcery CESG Pan Government Accreditation (PGA) (formerly IL2) and Public Services Network (PSN) Protect (formerly IL3) connectivity to meet data sovereignty and security specifications for the public sector and UK government.〔PGA Accreditation.
