WORKSHOPS B

12:00 pm - 2:30 pm Determining the Best Outcome for Your Internal Government Systems: Upgrade or Replace?

An important area of conversation within government has been the question of upgrading legacy systems of replacing them for future functionality. According to the Centre for Digital Government within the USA, one third of major IT systems in government have become outdated and are in need of replacement. However, doing so means government departments will need to understand the different components their original systems speak to, which can be a challenging task.

Dominic Campbell, Chief Digital Officer of Homes England, will deliver an interactive workshop, discussing the different systems your government departments use, and how you can future proof these systems for an integrated digital service platform.

In this workshop, you will get the opportunity to discuss the following:
  • Utilising the right technologies to allow effective and secure digital platforms
  • Understanding how an individual information system is linked to another when upgrading or replacing
  • Working with different departments and stakeholders to make new initiatives as simple as possible
