Local Government
The UK government’s commitment to more effective, efficient and joined-up public service delivery puts huge pressure on local authorities to realise the transformation required. IBM offers innovative technologies, professional services and business transformation expertise to help deliver this far-reaching reform agenda.
Our work with local government includes:
- Creating shared services infrastructure to respond to the demands of Transformational Government
- Using technology to improve efficiency, contain cost and deliver more effective services that meet the needs of citizens and businesses
- Improving access to services through multiple channels
- Introducing more efficient flexible working practices
- Transforming information management, storage and retrieval
- Developing an environment that supports the development and retention of high quality personnel
IBM is a trusted partner for local authorities across the UK, including Bradford Council, where we support a major IT and process transformation to improve service delivery; and Cheshire County Council, where we’re helping to deliver person-centric care for older citizens in conjunction with local NHS partners.
