The Eight Principles of Data Protection
- Process personal data fairly and lawfully
- Obtain personal data only for one or more specified and lawful purposes and to ensure that such data is not processed in a manner which is incompatible with the purpose or purposes for which it was obtained
- Ensure that personal data is adequate, relevant and not excessive for the purpose or purposes for which it is held
- Ensure that personal data is accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date
- Ensure that personal data is not kept for any longer than is necessary for the purpose for which it was obtained
- Process personal data in accordance with the rights of the individuals to whom the information relates
- Ensure that personal data is kept secure
- Ensure that personal data is not transferred to a country outside the European Economic Area unless the country to which the information is to be sent ensures an adequate level of protection for the rights (in relation to the information) of the individuals to whom the personal data relates.
Acensys uses secure and confidential means of destroying data and does not keep Personal Data for longer than it is required. We will however, keep any data that is required for legal and regulatory purposes for the time determined by law.

I would like to thank Acensys Consulting for their tremendous support during the recent migration from our existing SAP environment to our New Oracle ERP service. Their role and contribution were critical to the success of this project, helping us translate our Business Objectives into a clear approach and helping us select an SI for the delivery phase. The Acensys team drove the implementation project over a very aggressive 6 month timeframe to ensure that we achieved a critical Business milestone of launching the service in September 19.
With the support of Acensys Consulting we have been able to accelerate the cloud transformation of or Global Infrastructure Delivery unit. Our new operating model easily scales to meet future demand and infrastructure can be implemented faster and more flexible to meet our customers’ needs.
Acensys Consulting was instrumental in setting up and driving our Data Centre Migration programme to its conclusion. They brought leadership, vision and execution capabilities and helped us deliver our target operations model and strategic data centre migration.
Acensys Consulting helped us to develop our Application Operations Transformation Strategy and successfully managed several key programmes to deliver our strategy. Acensys consultants brought thought leadership and strategy but with a hands-on, pragmatic approach to turn strategy into reality. They are not afraid to escalate issues but are quite good at building support across the organisation for change.
