It’s been a recognised challenge for some time that the current cost of supporting legacy IT systems far outweighs investment in innovation. So unsurprisingly the recent Declaration on Government Reform cites the need to ‘invest in the latest technology, and replace legacy IT systems that are overly complex and difficult to use’, but with the pace of technological change and the need to safeguard current operations, how do large-scale government departments operationally deliver this?
This session, with insights from Leidos, Steve Thomson, Programme Director, Home Office and Brian Kennedy, Head of Efficiencies & Technology, Accountant in Bankruptcy, looks at what’s needed to successfully move and converge legacy platforms. Discussion points will include new technologies that enable new ways to transform, the pace and constancy of change and collaborative partnerships between suppliers and government departments to successfully realise a future that ensures the delivery of mission-critical and resilient public services.
