A big thank you to everyone (including event sponsors, Computacenter and Unit4) who participated in TechMarketView’s UK Local Government Dinner Debate at the end of last week. The evening was a great success. We welcomed top level decision makers from UK local authorities and UK public sector IT suppliers for a stimulating discussion on supplier engagement models in the UK local government IT and business services market. We were fortunate to kick off the evening with some thought-provoking words from three Guest Speakers:
‘Uncertainty’ was an oft repeated word. Austerity, along with changes in IT and changes in Government policy, are combining to create an environment in which everyone – suppliers and clients alike - knows they will need to work differently going forward. Of that, all participants appeared to agree. However, it was much harder to reach a consensus on what the right approach would be, or indeed whether there is such a thing as the ‘right’ approach. Subscribers of TechMarketView’s PublicSectorViews service will be able to read our analysis of the main discussion points in a forthcoming report. Watch this space!
