Radical changes required for UK Government ICT plans to succeed

Today, TechMarketView has published its latest report, “What needs to change in UK Government?”, based on an in-depth survey of 19 key ICT industry suppliers, including 8 of the top 20 UK SITS suppliers.

Following a fantastic response to the survey, TechMarketView’s analysis reveals that the IT industry largely supports the new Government ICT strategy, believing that change is long overdue. For example, 100% of respondents supported reform of government IT procurement, the outsourcing of back office functions and a reduction in consultancy spend. 

However, support is tinged with uncertainty over the practicalities of implementing the changes. The Government will need to go further to clarify its position before its key ICT suppliers will fully rubber stamp the proposals. In addition, it is clear that radical changes are required to the way Government functions for many of the plans to be successful.
