Within the public sector, financial constraints continue to be an obvious challenge for IT departments. As well as the on-going budget pressure passed down by central government, public services remain under immense strain in many areas.
Over recent years the introduction of large-scale national IT projects aimed initially at increasing efficiency and strengthening digital security have not been managed effectively. Despite this, the demand for better information and systems is always increasing and this means that the likelihood of new, better and faster technologies being introduced remains.
In particular, the emergence of big data and cyber security issues arising from external security risks – such as terrorism – means that public sector bodies need to have systems in place to ensure their IT infrastructure remains secure and adds value.
