Government Market Drivers
The information age of the early 21st century
prompted the UK Government to produce its ‘Modernising Government’
strategy and look to capitalise on the potential offered by
information technology as a key enabler to “improve the delivery of
public services and achieve long-term cost savings by joining up
online government services around the needs of customers”.
The turn of the century also brought with it
new security challenges and the growth of an asymmetric terrorist
threat with the agility and determination to test the physical and
cyber security measures of our critical national
infrastructure.
Outlined below are some of the key initiatives
that are driving the delivery of efficient citizen-centred services
and promoting UK security and resilience as well as details on how
VEGA is currently working alongside Government to manage risk and
realise higher levels of success from their programmes and
systems.
