A partnership with Six Degrees that began six years ago has enabled The Midcounties Co-operative, the largest independent Co-operative Society in the UK, to achieve not only systems continuity for products and services across its entire business portfolio, but also security and protection for the company’s core data sets.

Six Degrees supports the platform, data and unified communications products for the Society, which has its headquarters in Warwickshire. Six Degrees’ Birmingham South data centre now hosts all of The Midcounties Co-operative IT services and data. This colocation ensures stable IT systems across the Society’s portfolio, with secure, protected and compliant data – ultimately Six Degrees’ support of mission-critical systems enables the Society to deliver a seamless experience to its customers and allows certainty around the management of IT costs.
