TechMarketView's Public Sector Supplier Prospects 2020 report is now available. In this publication we look at the Top 20 suppliers in the UK public sector software and IT services (SITS) market, reviewing recent progress, looking at the key market challenges and assessing what suppliers need to do to maximise their potential in 2020 and beyond.
The Brexit impasse that had been hanging over the UK was finally resolved in 2020 and we appeared to be entering a period of renewed investment in public services. However, as 2019 came to an end the first reports of a viral pneumonia outbreak in China were starting to appear; little did we know, just a few months later, the world would be facing the unprecedented challenge of tackling the spread of COVID-19. For public sector SITS suppliers, success in 2020 will first and foremost rely on an ability to navigate this crisis.
Notwithstanding the impact of COVID-19, there are steps that suppliers must take to make sure that they remain relevant for the future. The relative importance of these steps varies across the Top 20 UK public sector SITS suppliers featured in this report, but each should be considered if suppliers aim to position themselves as an indispensable partner to public service providers.
Suppliers featured in this report: Accenture, Agilisys, Atos, BAE Systems, BT Group, Capgemini, Capita, CGI, Civica, Computacenter, Dell Technologies, DXC, Fujitsu, IBM, Leidos, Microsoft, Northgate Public Services, Oracle, Serco and Sopra Steria. This report should be read alongside our UK Public Sector SITS Supplier Rankings 2019 and UK Public Sector SITS Market Trends & Forecasts 2019-2022 reports.

TechMarketView is about to embark on its annual cycle of UK software and IT services market forecasting. We will seek, as usual, to predict the growth (or decline) of the UK SITS market over the next four years, through to 2023.
Never have we faced such uncertainty. We are in the throes of a rapidly developing global situation – one which sees us entering uncharted territory and has an indeterminable length and impact (initial outbreaks could be followed by secondary outbreaks). We can expect news – both worldwide and domestically – that is both positive and negative.
Much will be dependent on whether the fiscal stimulus provided by the UK Government is enough to prevent the UK economy entering a period of recession in H2 2020.
The TechMarketView team is currently considering the potential future scenarios we might face and the likely impact on the UK tech market. In this, our latest research, we outline how tech suppliers have reacted to the crisis to date. We highlight what their customers are saying. And we provide our initial thoughts on the short-term and long-term consequences.
History shows that following any sort of economic crisis, market leaders tend to be the ones to benefit while weaker competitors are at a disadvantage. We expect this diversification in the performance of UK tech companies to be equally true during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. But it will not just be about market leaders vs. the rest. Other factors will play a part: the industry sectors in which their clients sit, their types of contract, the resilience of their business models and supply chains, and the strength of client relationships will all play a part.

How is Amazon Web Services (AWS) helping with the challenges end user organisations face when moving AI/ML-backed projects into production across the enterprise, to deliver the type of substantive, transformational business change expected?
Download AWS: Operationalising AI/ML for insight into its three layer approach and areas of focus; and how they compare to Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.
A layered approach catering to different user communities is common across all three suppliers but there are differences in emphasis, with AWS proactive in areas such as ‘applied’ services and tooling for production environments.
There is more than customer adoption at stake when it comes to AI/ML; this technology area opens the door to deeper business-level conversations with the C-suite, which is one of the reasons there is so much to play for. A comparison of the Microsoft and Google Cloud approaches is available in the companion Microsoft and Google Cloud: Operationalising AI/ML report.

Second in a series of case studies looking at how RPA is being adopted, today we publish an interview with Darren Atkins, Chief Technology Officer at East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust into how automation is gaining traction within the health service.
RPA at East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust
East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust was created 2 years ago from the merger of Colchester and Ipswich hospitals. Around the same time, CTO Darren Atkins created a new innovation team to look into the merits of automation. Atkins had looked at the automation market some 10 years previous but had been underwhelmed with what was on offer. Recent headlines and controversy of “robots taking over the world” had renewed his interest.
Getting the culture right
Interested in what RPA had to offer, Atkins was keen to start with the organisational culture and setting firm expectations around what automation meant in reality, conscious that he did not want robot technology to appear threatening. The mantra selected for automation in the Trust was “making time matter” – the emphasis being on demonstrating how robots would help clinical and corporate staff free-up time to spend on patients. Whilst there were some secondary benefits, for example increased clinical utilisation and a reduction in outpatients, the primary goal, and measurement of success, was time saved.
The decision was also made to be very open and honest about the technology and not hide the robots away. Robots have their own identity on all the Trust’s different systems and are fully engaged with the security and information governance teams, ensuring that there is full control and compliance over the work undertaken.

To get a true picture of RPA adoption and the real value that the technology is delivering to organisations “on the ground”, we are showcasing this week two case studies outlining how a major insurance provider and an NHS Trust are separately adopting RPA. Today we start with an interview with Alastair Robertson, Head of Continuous Improvement and Automation at Zurich UK. Later in the week we will publish an interview with Darren Atkins, Chief Technology Officer at East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust.
Both Zurich and East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Trust are mature proponents of automation within their respective industries, so should not be regarded as typical of the wider industry, but they do demonstrate what current good practice looks like away from vendor hype.
RPA within Zurich UK
Zurich started on its automation journey 4 ½ years ago, initially using an external consultant to train a small number of staff in Blue Prism’s software within the firm’s Life Insurance business. Adoption within the first couple of years saw pockets of activity, predominantly focused on automating some simple processes. A major change in approach occurred when the company went through its most recent shift in strategic cycle about 2 ½ years ago, which saw the UK organisation simplified with a real focus from the Executive on nurturing automation and centralising resources.

TechMarketView’s most recent Market Readiness Index (MRI) report is now LIVE!
It provides invaluable insight into the key success factors for suppliers in the digital age, and analyses who is doing well and why.
The MRI is designed to help end user organisations – tech buyers – determine the readiness of their ICT suppliers to support them as they seek to digitally transform their organisations. The MRI models TechMarketView’s understanding of how advanced suppliers are when it comes to being able to contribute to the creation of more intelligent and more automated organisations for their customers.
The Market Readiness Index is a keystone piece of research within the TechMarketView Tech User Programme, for tech buyers – see here.
The MRI was launched last year, with our first report looking at how well placed the UK’s Top Ten IT and Business Process Services players are to deliver digital transformation for their customers.
In this latest round of MRI research, we have looked at the IT and Business Process Services players that are placed 11-20 in our Top 50 ranking. Those players are: BT, BAE Systems, Computacenter, CGI, Dell Technologies, Deloitte UK, Infosys, Sopra Steria, Tech Mahindra, and Wipro.
The question is: How ready are these suppliers to support clients looking to undertake complex digital transformation?
We’ve questioned and probed, we’ve analysed the numbers, the investments made, and the decisions taken. We’ve quizzed the Execs and their customers, and have undertaken a rigorous scoring and analysis exercise across six key areas:
As organisations look to tame the Digital Chaos many of them face, one of the most critical aspects to get right is the choice of partners/suppliers. With TechMarketView’s unparalleled position in the UK market, the MRI gives you the insight you need to make the choices that are right for your organisation.
Tech User Programme members can read the research here: TechMarketView Market Readiness Index (MRI): Top 10 UK IT & Business Process Services Providers.

Our Tech Insights research usually focusses on a different type of infection, but Coronavirus (COVID-19) is having a significant impact on organisational approaches to cyber security too.
We’ve compiled a list of the ways the pandemic is altering the threat landscape and how best enterprise IT departments can prepare to meet those challenges, while outlining a few opportunities for suppliers to help them do it with recommendations around cyber security assessments, products and services.
We also consider how Internet of Things (IoT) solutions could be implemented to help avoid supply chain problems caused by pandemics in the future …

The escalating COVID-19 crisis is taking us into uncharted territory – economically, socially, and of course, health-wise. Drastic measures being taken by organisations (including TechMarketView) to keep employees out of offices and into remote working locations (typically home) have become increasingly common, where possible.
Each organisation has responded in a different way to the protection of their employees and mitigation against the further spread of the Coronavirus. Some imposed clearly defined policies early on, moving quickly to ban travel and enforce compulsory home working. Others have put some of those decisions into the hands of individuals - for now. We’ve also seen examples of disaster recovery plans coming into play - for example, City firms sending staff to workplace recovery facilities outside of London.
In turn, support services firms are having to flex to be able to serve that different geographical/non-office location. For workers that are typically office based, working from home can be both frustrating and enlightening. Some organisations have put forward extra funds to help create a home office environment (e.g. screens and laptop), and some resellers are reporting a spike in orders as organisations start to stockpile kit. Indeed, Mike Norris, CEO of Computacenter, spoke of the “surge” in orders in yesterday’s results announcement. He has also reportedly said buyers are being less discerning about the brands they buy in order to secure the volumes they need. Likewise, he says some SMEs that have never bought laptops before are now doing so.
What will be the longer-term impact of the sudden and drastic shift around remote working and digital conferences?

I am sure you are all fully aware of the statement made by the Prime Minister yesterday as the UK moves into the ‘Delay Phase’ of the Coronavirus pandemic. I am also aware of the actions that many of our clients have taken to safeguard their staff and businesses in these troubling times.
TechMarketView is better positioned than many in that home/remote working has been the norm since we started in 2009. However, we have moved further by banning all internal f2f meetings as we did not want just one TMV person infecting the whole team. We have also put a stop to f2f meetings with clients and others, attendance at conferences and presentations and unnecessary travel.
We already use remote conferencing extensively - mainly via Microsoft Teams. All internal meetings will still go ahead - but virtually. Same applies to client and other meetings. Our analysts will continue to be very pleased to meet you - but virtually not f2f.
TechMarketView will continue to function as close to normal as possible. Providing the same highly valued and influential service to our clients and the wider tech sector. A service even more essential in these troubled times.
If you have any queries, please get in touch with any of our directors, analysts or client services people. Contact details for all TMV people can be found HERE.

Against the backdrop of the global outbreak of COVID-19, and having been in role for just 28 days, the Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak delivered the Government’s Budget 2020, including what he described as, “the largest sustained fiscal boost in 30 years”.
In considering the implications for tech firms in the UK market, TechMarketView has published three research notes. The first two are available in UKHotViewsExtra (available for all subscribers including those signed up to UKHotViews Premium).
In Budget 2020: Business, Innovation & Productivity, we take a look at the announcements from two angles. Firstly, how will companies – large and small – benefit from the stimulus. Secondly, where are there clear areas where Sunak’s investment will drive spending in the tech sector.
In Budget 2020: Public Services Investment, we consider the impact of both short-term, COVID-19-related, response to public services investment, and the longer-term commitment to investing in our public services.
Finally, UKHotViews readers can tuck into Richard Holway’s views on the changes to Entrepreneur’s Relief – see Sunak slashes Entrepreneur’s Relief.

Computacenter saw its top line pass the £5bn milestone in 2019 with revenue growing 16.1% (or 16.9% constant currency) to £5.05bn in its FY19. That performance was based on the Technology Sourcing (resale) business growing 20.3% and the Services business growing at 4.7%. Not all of that growth was organic, with 80% of the £732.2m it added in revenue coming from acquisitions.
CEO Mike Norris believes 2019 will be hard act to follow, despite the 2020 Services pipeline (both Professional and Managed Services) being “the strongest we have seen for some time” and the belief that customers will continue to invest in products - particularly in security, networking and cloud.
Norris also addressed the current COVID-19 crisis in the results announcement. Of course, end user services are a key play for Computacenter and not surprisingly it’s been rallying to support customers as their business continuity plans kick in and they shift to either workplace recovery centres or increased remote working. Not surprisingly, it has seen a “surge” in demand for laptops.
The British firm is now very much an international player - indeed, the UK is not even its biggest segment anymore. But how did its services business perform in 2019? And how is it shaping up in 2020?

When a new kind of coronavirus started to emerge from the Wuhan, China in late 2019, amongst the first to notice was Canadian firm BlueDot. The company is one of a number that combine large datasets with artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to automate infectious disease surveillance, helping medical experts recognise anomalies that may indicate emerging epidemics. BlueDot is now using natural language processing (NLP), medical data, media reports and airline passenger data to track, locate and conceptualise the spread of the disease. However, it is far from the only organisation looking to utilise AI to help better understand and respond to the threat of COVID-19.
In this UKHotViewsExtra article we take a closer look at the role AI is playing in the fight against COVID-19 from prevention, detection, response to disease outbreaks, diagnosis and treatment.

I caught up recently with a former DXC colleague, George “Gino” Vitelis (now of Actual Horizon) to discuss the evolving technology landscape within financial services and the challenges of conducting business transformation.
DXC “wrote the book” on largescale transformation and treated itself as “Client Zero” for many emerging digital technologies and business process trends. The scale and impact of those strategic decisions, coupled with the style and approach to implementing these changes were born out of necessity, but for those of us that witnessed them first-hand, it is easy to recognise where significant mistakes were made.
Gino's role exposed him to DXC's strategic decision-making and brought him into close contact with the company’s “C level” executives on the global leadership team. This exposure to the very highest level of a $20bn, Fortune 500 technology company was understandably a fantastic education and a real eye opener.
As organisations seek to make sense of the changing marketplace and respond to the shifting competitor landscape, many have embarked on a complex programme of change, driven by technology. However, crucial elements of how to successfully implement largescale corporate transformation are often overlooked.

Today we introduce Frictionless Fabric, the TechMarketView model for the ultimate digital entity.
Frictionless Fabric is your guide to how software and services are realigning and combining for the digital age. Significantly, it identifies the themes and approaches end user organisations and suppliers should be prioritising and investing in as they architect the ultimate digital entity.
Download the report here: Frictionless Fabric: Architecting the ultimate digital entity.
As the digital shift intensifies, organisations need to evolve into the types of operations spoilt-for-choice customers want to engage with and citizens look to willingly interact with. Minimising points of friction to achieve this is one of the new rules of engagement. But when we looked at how technology and services were traditionally provided, against the needs of organisations undergoing digital transformation, we saw a mismatch. Traditional, often siloed, service line and technology provision were out of alignment with the requirements of intricately woven digital environments.
Success requires clear sight of organisations’ most critical business outcomes and of the capabilities and connections able to deliver them, alongside the right focus on the right investment areas. Considering how existing tech investments operate alongside emerging technology, and the new business model and commercial approaches required to understand, plan and function in the digital age, is what Frictionless Fabric is about.
It is also the base for our new Tech Insights research approach, which runs alongside our PublicSectorViews and FinancialServicesViews research streams, and is designed to help our clients succeed in the digital age.
TechMarketView clients should download the thought provoking Frictionless Fabric: Architecting the ultimate digital entity slide deck. If you'd like to hear more, or don’t have a subscription to our services and would like details, please email Deb Seth.

NHSX will be engaging on a Tech Plan for health and care throughout Spring and Summer 2020. It is looking for stakeholders to participate in the development of the plan to ensure it supports the health and care system to deliver the ambition set out in the NHS Long Term Plan, NHS Tech Vision, and the forthcoming NHS People Plan.
The vision for the Tech Plan is for the NHS to become a truly data-driven system, where everyone is treated as an individual; clinicians are provided with the time to care for patients; and the system is constantly optimised through data, analytics and research.
NHSX has also just published the draft NHS Digital Technology Standard, which is intended to consolidate and replace existing standards providing clearer guidance for developers. It is part of its wider programme of work to speed up how health technologies are reviewed, commissioned and scaled across the NHS and social care.
Part of the responsibility for ensuring the vision is realised will fall to Sonia Patel who has been named as the new Chief Information Officer for NHSX. She is currently Joint CIO at London North West Healthcare NHS Trust and The Hillingdon Hospitals Foundation Trust and will join NHSX in the summer.
