Government IT strategy signed off – clouds and cuts ahead

The government has signed off the final version of its IT strategy and is awaiting ministerial approval, as it gears up to cut IT costs across Whitehall.

Government CIO John Suffolk said the final strategy document is “not far away”.
The programme is expected to highlight £500m in annual savings, which include a 5% cut in spending on IT staff per year from 2010.

Cost reductions took centre stage in Socitm’s annual IT Trends survey, which looks at IT strategies in local government.
