Building the Smarter State podcast series in partnership with KPMG - Legacy IT

 

In the lead up to techUK’s flagship public sector conference Building the Smarter State, we are pleased to partner with KPMG to deliver a series of podcasts looking at key enablers of the smarter state. We all want to see a smarter state, for the benefit of both public service efficiency itself and to deliver a better experience to citizens – but there are some critical blockers to this.

John Owen, Chief Technology Officer, Cabinet Office and Adrian Clamp, Partner and Head of Digital Transformation at KPMG join Georgina Maratheftis, techUK’s Associate Director for Local Public Services to talk about how we reframe legacy IT and tackle one of the biggest challenges facing the public sector transformation, as outlined in the National Audit Office’s recent report Digital Transformation in Government: addressing barriers to efficiency.

Listen to the conversation to hear practical ways and insights into how government and industry can better collaborate to solve this challenge and future proof tomorrow’s legacy.

The next podcast in the Building the Smarter State series will focus on bridging the digital skills gap.

Help shape the future of the smarter state by attending the annual Building the Smarter State conference on the 27 September!
