Welcome to the Janet South West Group
This is the regional group for Janet customers in the South West of England seeking information about Janet connectivity in their region, support, services and contact information.
The advanced technology at the heart of Janet coupled with the government’s drive for shared services and efficient procurement mean that Janet’s common infrastructure can support multiple communities and deliver significant savings.
We are delighted to announce that the Education Shared Information Security Service (ESISS) joined Janet on 1 August 2013. ESISS was formerly managed by the East Midlands Metropolitan Area Network (EMMAN).
