Description
Efficiency is back at the top of the agenda for all public sector organisations. The latest Comprehensive Spending Review for 2007 has resulted in what some analysts have described as the toughest settlement in years. This increases the pressure on public services to continue to find greater efficiency throughout the organisation. ICT is widely regarded as a means of achieving this goal.
IT Trends 2007 provides an in depth review of the current position in the Local Government ICT scene together with a detailed analysis of the challenges authorities face. The report contains information on technology, budgets, manpower, product ratings, market share together with views and opinions about the future. Our research is based on information from over 250 organisations.
The 2007 report features:
● An executive summary for policy makers
● An analysis of the capacity of authorities to deliver change
● Ratings of hundreds of IT products
● Key pay data
● Ideas on how to deliver efficiency savings
● Views of IT managers about the challenges ahead
A CD-ROM version of the report complete with the data is also available. This contains the individual survey responses (not identified) and will allow users to undertake their own analyses.
