I am delighted to welcome you to the first issue of Oxygen Insight and to wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
To celebrate our first issue of Oxygen Insight, we’ve included a report based on our own unique research into payment practices and the challenges involved in tackling late payment. Also covered in this issue, we share expert opinion from our Chief Technology Officer, Rob Parker, as he discusses opening up technology to deliver change, and provide an update on our Freepay product, launched at the LGA Annual Conference this year by Iain Duncan Smith.
2017 has been an exciting year, with new clients including NHS Wales, Cardiff Council, Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council, Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council, London Borough of Harrow council, Sheffield City Council, City of London and Halton Borough Council coming on board and the successful launch of our Freepay pilot with Warwickshire County Council.
We were delighted to renew our contract with longstanding client, Oldham Council, who signed up to our Early Payment Programme over five years ago and we were also pleased to hear that we’ve been shortlisted along with Cumbria County Council for the 2018 LGC Public Partnership Award.
Next year we are expanding our product portfolio significantly to offer additional services to clients and their suppliers. This will include leveraging the data that clients send to the Oxygen platform to develop our business intelligence and analytics solutions in addition to innovative invoicing and early payment solutions.
In the spirit of the season, this year, we have decided to make a donation to charity instead of sending Christmas cards. The charity we’ve chosen is Save the Children who support in the protection, healthy start and learning of children around the world.
We hope you enjoy the first issue of Oxygen Insight, if you have ideas for topics that you would like us to cover, please share your thoughts and ideas by emailing marketing@oxygen-finance.com
Wishing you a happy Christmas and new year.
