The United Kingdom woke up to the prospect of a new government this morning, but it faces old problems in tech projects, policy, and investment.
HMRC is just one of the departments leading procurement for SaaS ERP systems to run central government departments in the shift to the new software model set out in the to lead a 12-year contract including both software and systems integration services that will also support Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs , the Home Office , and the Ministry of Justice .
The remaining two clusters are Defence and Overseas, which includes the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, the Department for International Trade, and other units.– but managing a string of projects at the same time while trying to keep budgets within the expectations of a government that promises to be frugal. Good luck with that one.
Labour faces a dilemma over whether to ditch the contract and find another way to gather data to improve NHS efficiency or build on what has gone before, no matter how unpalatable some of its own team might find it.On tech policy, Labour will face some tough choices, as politicians love to say.
