Public Service Networks (PSNs) are the first
and most important building block in the process of reducing
back-office ICT costs in the public sector, and they are a critical
foundation for creating better connected, collaborative government
shared service delivery. Without local, regional and national PSNs,
the public sector will struggle to deliver the efficiencies and
savings it simply has to find. And without joined up collaborative
networks, policy makers and politicians will be unable to join up
front-line services and achieve the more effective service delivery
outcomes the public now demands.
Over the past few years, PSN has been driven
as a programme from the Cabinet Office, but PSNs in National
Devolved Governments and in a small number of English counties have
already been built, starting locally and expanding regionally,
servicing the needs of individual and communities of organisations
and delivering on local and regional ICT strategies as well as
front-line service priorities.
Logicalis is the proud delivery partner of the
Welsh Assembly Governments, PSBA network, the UK’s largest
multi-agency public sector communications network, connects well
over 2,000 sites across all major public sectors (Unitary
Authorities, Health, Education, Emergency Services) and is expected
to grow to between 6,000–10,000 sites, delivering connectivity cost
savings and a platform for further collaboration and
consolidation.
More than any other organisation in the UK
today, Logicalis recognises that conceiving and then delivering a
PSN; aggregating the existing and future needs of many disparate
organisations brings unique challenges, but we have proven
experience in not simply overcoming them, but innovating in
critical areas of PSN adoption.
Our uniquely qualified team of PSN experts,
based out of our Centre of Excellence for PSN in Nantgarw, Wales,
are on hand to help the public sector across the UK on any aspect
of their PSN programme adoption.
The value of bringing Logicalis expertise in
at the very inception of your programme is that our PSN Delivery
Framework best practice process has been built through 5 years of
practical experience; from procurement and funding to policy maker
and stakeholder engagement, from network goal architectures to
service delivery and future service design.
