Arcus Global

Overview

About

Arcus Global is an established public sector software developer, cloud solutions integrator, and enterprise architecture consultancy headquartered at the Future Business Centre, Kings Hedges Road, in Cambridge, United Kingdom. Founded in 2009 and led by Chief Executive Officer Peter Dewsbury, Arcus Global has established itself as an essential digital transformation partner for United Kingdom local government authorities, regulatory agencies, housing associations, and public sector bodies nationwide. The organization was founded by former Cambridge University researchers to replace inflexible legacy municipal software with agile, cloud-native platforms that reduce operating costs and enhance citizen service delivery.

The cornerstone of Arcus Global's product portfolio is its suite of cloud-native software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications built directly upon the Salesforce platform and Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure. The company develops specialized digital solutions for local government operations, including Arcus Regulatory Services—which streamlines environmental health inspections, trading standards enforcement, and commercial licensing management—and Arcus Built Environment, which automates town planning applications, building control workflows, and local land charges. These platforms provide municipal officers with mobile field access, automated case management, and seamless digital interaction for citizens.

In addition to proprietary software platforms, Arcus Global provides high-level IT strategy advice, enterprise architecture design, and public sector cloud migration consulting. The firm's technical teams assist local authorities in decommissioning costly on-premises legacy data centers, migrating mission-critical civic databases into secure public and hybrid cloud environments hosted on AWS. Arcus Global also delivers system integration services, connecting departmental databases with national government portals, Cadcorp spatial GIS mapping engines, and Firmstep digital customer service platforms.

Data governance and cybersecurity are fundamental to all Arcus Global deployments, ensuring public records comply with stringent UK government security principles, Cyber Essentials Plus benchmarks, and UK GDPR regulations. The company provides continuous platform management, hyperconverged data storage, and staff training to ensure smooth user adoption. Supported by premier partnerships with Salesforce, Amazon Web Services, and Cadcorp, Arcus Global is a leader in public sector technology innovation.
