THE DECISION

Having read the report, including its recommendations and proposals, and following consideration of all other relevant matters, the decision-maker made the following decision: -

 

Cabinet is asked to approve the revised Corporate ICT Strategy (available in the Members’ Rooms), and to support the principles within the strategy to meet the changes for service improvement within the Council, which reflect the modernising government agenda.

 

 

 

 

REASONS FOR THE DECISION

The Corporate ICT Strategy is an essential part of the Council’s plans to join up and improve services as an integral part of the Organisational Futures Initiative.  Cabinet are asked to approve the strategy to ensure that it has the endorsement on behalf of the Council at this level.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DETAILS OF ANY ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS

The Council is entering a period of profound change for Local Government - there are increased expectations from internal and external users of IT facilities in terms of the range and quality of access methods that the Council should provide in the modern world.  The ICT Strategy is reviewed yearly to align to the Council’s and citizens requirements.  Not adopting the Strategy will ignore these important drivers for change.  ICT is also seen as an enabler to drive out efficiency savings to meet external pressures and improve on the Council’s services to our citizens.
