Local Government
Challenges
Transformational Government
As e-Government evolves towards Transformational Government, technology has now become a strategic asset for local authorities and not just a tactical tool.
At COA Solutions, we recognise that technology alone does not transform government. However, local government cannot make the transformation to meet modern citizens' expectations without it. At the heart of this agenda is the reform of corporate services, the requirement to join up and share services rather than duplicate them. Without a strong foundation, all other initiatives will fail to realise full potential.
Shared services
When it comes to the implementation of shared services, it is no longer a matter of 'if', but 'when'. The success of shared services implementations in other parts of the public sector, combined with cuts in the level of funding through CSR07, means that the drive for shared services is now stronger than ever.
Maximising benefit from technology
At COA Solutions, we strive to assist this reform through the use of technology - creating and retaining the capability to innovate and use technology effectively to deliver improved services to citizens, whilst achieving cost savings through greater efficiencies and collaboration.
