Council IT managers say they are disappointed with the Government’s ICT strategy because its emphasis is on cutting technology costs, not using IT to achieve organisational savings and improve services to the public.
SOCITM, the society for IT managers in the public sector, gives its views on the Government ICT Strategy in a document published on Friday. It’s a formal response to the Government ICT Strategy which was published last month.

SOCITM’s criticism hits a raw nerve for central government CIOs whose ability to effect organisational change is limited. Some local government IT managers may have more freedom than Government CIOs to initiate changes in business processes.
