We develop our software in the UK and we support our customers from here. Those interested in ‘Software as a Service’ should take confidence in the knowledge that the business partner for our SaaS IT Service Management offering is IBM Cloud. Sunrise only utilises IBM’s UK based Tier 3+ data centres, which can facilitate almost any data, ‘infosec’ and business continuity requirements. This is further enhanced by operating the Volaris best practice Info Sec that governs and secures 1oo's of companies worldwide

Supporting Our Community
As a company, we understand the power of giving back and the importance of making a difference in the lives of others. That is why we are proud to highlight our commitment to supporting charities that are close to the hearts of our staff - routinely making donations to these organisations.
We also make quarterly donations to organisations picked by our 'Sunriser of the Quarter' - the member of staff picked by colleagues as going above and beyond for Sunrise and our customers.
Here are just a few of the causes we have supported:
"We’ve been using Sunrise for nearly three years, without any failures, giving us reassurance and allowing us to focus on supporting the work of the council, its staff and councillors. We particularly like the ease of use, and the intuitive interface that we’ve been able to customise to meet our needs in every area."
Judy Barker
"We saw that Sunrise’s employees are really enthusiastic about the company and hugely experienced. That made our decision very straightforward - Sunrise is just the right partner for us. Adopting the SaaS model means we don’t have to worry about release cycles or server management either, as it’s all managed by Sunrise."
Bidfood - Matt Wilsher
Head of IT Services
"As with the entire NHS, we have a focus on efficiency, and Sunrise enables us to automate many of our processes, giving staff time to handle more complex, more challenging jobs where they can really add value."
NHS Merseyside
Head of IT Service Operations
"Sunrise has been transformational in how we are now working and the data that we are able to capture and use."
Womble Bond Dickinson

"Flexibility, scalability, customisation and speed of implementation were paramount to us. Sunrise ITSM enabled us to improve and alter the way in which we logged and managed queries through to resolution, with a clean and simple user interface that staff could quickly and easily get to grips with."
WM Housing
