Green ICT

Green ICT is currently one of our major themes, and Socitm Insight and the Defence Equipment and Support Agency of the Ministry of Defence has been working with representatives of leading councils to see how we can increase awareness, and to drive best practice in this critical topic area. Jointly, we have developed and adapt a set of guidelines initially produced by the CIO council for use in local authorities. You can access them by opening this news item. The opportunity to participate in the European Union consultation on Green ICT has been extended to 21st July. If you have not participated already, please complete the survey at http://ec.europa.eu/yourvoice/ipm/forms/dispatch?form=ICT4EE.

How to build the perfect council website 08

Council websites: helping citizens help themselves. Cutting the number of unnecessary contacts a citizen has with their council is now a stated aim of government policy, and it makes sense all round: improving efficiency, cutting costs and ensuring the citizen receives the help and information they need at the first port of call. Council websites can play a central role in achieving this goal, but they need to understand what users want from them. Event jointly organised by Socitm Insight and E-Government Bulletin.
