McClelland review of ICT infrastructure in the public sector: our response
Our response to the McClelland review of public sector information and communication technology infrastructure.
Developing National and Sectoral ICT Strategies
We aim to develop and publish a public sector national ICT strategy which sets the context, describes the supporting processes and provides a foundation to take forward the ICT operating framework and the individual public sector strategies. The sector ICT strategies will have to be cognisant of ICT operating framework and any exemplars which are identified for wider re-use.
