The New Network is Local and Regional Government

Government reforms and the economic climate will influence the shape of local and regional government over the coming years. Expectations are that front-line services will be maintained or improved without significant increases to the resources at your disposal. This requires an innovative, multifaceted, and coordinated approach to develop new and affordable ways of working that improve the citizen experience.

Information is vital to your organization and exploiting it more effectively will help create the financial headroom you need to invest in citizen services. Whether collaborating across different organisations, driving efficiencies through shared services, or directly engaging with the citizen, access to accurate information when it is needed and wherever it is needed becomes critical. In this context, information technology becomes a major contributor to cost saving strategies and has the potential to radically change the user and citizen experience.
