Challenges
Cost savings and efficiency

The 2004 Gershon Report set out exacting efficiency targets as well as changes in work practices for all public sector bodies. IT initiatives are one of the keys to achieving the report's challenging targets. Systems consolidation and flexible working will certainly help in this process, but another major element for costs savings comes from efficient procurement. Using e-procurement, technology-enabled business processes can reduce the cost of every part of the procurement process. In particular, e-procurement technology will improve supply chain management by increasing speed of procurement, enhancing decision making and the management of contractual documentation.

Staff efficiency is another key area for cost savings, and the increasing use of e-learning tools allows for flexible on-site training rather than having to remove valuable resource off-site for extended periods of more traditional class-based training.

You want:

Reduced costs
Enhanced efficiency
Enhanced public satisfaction
