Barnet Council Tech Stack
London borough government delivering social care, education, and resident services to 349,500 residents
Barnet Council operates the largest London borough by population using a Microsoft-centric stack (Microsoft 365, Azure, Power Platform, SharePoint, Defender) alongside Oracle databases and Drupal for public-facing services. Active adoption of Azure Fabric, Synapse, and Data Factory signals a push toward scalable data infrastructure—a need reinforced by their roadmap, which lists exactly that as a priority. Hiring is education-heavy (18 of 59 roles) and tilted mid-to-senior, reflecting the operational complexity of managing social care reform, youth justice, virtual schooling, and zero-trust security rollout simultaneously.
