Local authorities' technology spending is predicted to rise by nine per cent
to £3bn in 2007/2008, according to local government user group
Socitm.
Efficiency and security are top of IT managers' agenda, alongside a growing
commitment to transformation programmes, says the IT trends report published
yesterday.
Overall, the message from the survey of 250 organisations is highly positive,
said Socitm president Rose Crozier.
"It shows that IT departments have the capacity and capability to deliver
what is required to meet the transformation agenda in local government," she
said.
"Moreover, on key transformational issues like customer-centricity and shared
services, the survey demonstrates that T managers have a positive and
open-minded approach."
