Who we are
Provide Digital is a trading name of Provide Enterprises Ltd, and is part of Provide Community, an employee-owned Community Interest Company. Being employee-owned means our colleagues are directly invested in the success of our work, and our community interest company model ensures our surplus is reinvested into services and local initiatives. For our partners, that means working with a digital supplier whose values align with the NHS and wider public sector, performance with purpose.
What we do
As well as having our flagship products, we specialise in creating bespoke, user-centred digital solutions that respond to the evolving needs of health and care services. Our approach is rooted in co-design, with input from clinicians, service users, and communities to ensure tools fit naturally into everyday workflows.
Our process includes:
Requirements analysis
We will spend time getting to know you, your operation, your challenges and your opportunities. Through listening, we build a better understanding of your specific problem, what you want to build, what features your product should have, and what purpose it will serve.
Customisation
The second step of our work with you is to carry out extensive user research and information gathering, which allows us to define the functions of the final product. The aim is to create a user-friendly experience so this key step allows us to begin development of a product that your patients or staff will enjoy using and get the most out of.
Testing
To keep users secure and free from bugs, our QA specialists perform automated and manual testing to ensure the quality and security of the code and the user experience. We also run user acceptance testing which gives the customer the opportunity to be directly involved in the design.
Deployment
After ensuring the product security and finetuning the functioning for your requirements, we take your product live on every desired platform. This will be a seamless launch that allows you to introduce patients, staff or other individuals to the product in line with our final step.
Training
We make sure our clients are comfortable with the use of the product, by providing multi model training. This will be a comprehensive programme that allows you to ask as many questions as you need to. We want you to get the most out of your software so we will work with you to guarantee every member of the team is confident to take it forward.
Ongoing support
We can stay involved with your product long after its implementation. This allows us to continue to improve the application and fine tune the software as you grow or develop your business in the future.
