Government Computing

Welcome to Government Computing, your go-to online resource available 24/7 for the latest updates in public sector ICT. In the public sector, managing information is often at its most inventive, especially when the goal is to achieve more with fewer resources. From the emergence of the service towers model and the introduction of 'open data' initiatives in central government to the ambitious Agile development of Universal Credit systems set for 2013, the trend of shared services among local councils, and the creation of the Public Services Network (PSN) that connects suppliers and customers to significantly lower costs, the landscape of information management in the public domain is constantly evolving. This includes the aftermath of the National Programme for IT (NPfIT) in healthcare and ongoing pressures for outsourcing in police forces. Government Computing, a division of GlobalData PLC, offers the latest news, insights, and commentary on public sector information management. We provide context for Whitehall discussions and keep track of the perspectives of important ICT leaders in local authorities and NHS trusts. In an intricate and rapidly changing ICT environment, Government Computing delivers essential clarity and expertise through well-researched articles by professionals experienced in public sector information management.
