4. Local Government – the pressures and the options
Top slice Back office 20% ? Saving 2% ?
- Is the activity essential to meet Government
priorities?
- Does the Government need to fund this activity?
- Does the activity provide substantial economic
value?
- Can the activity be targeted to those most in need?
- How can the activity be provided at lower cost?
- How can the activity be provided more effectively?
- Can the activity be provided by a non-state
provider or by citizens, wholly or in partnership?
- Can non-state providers be paid to carry out the
activity according to the results they achieve?
- Can local bodies as opposed to central
10-15% of government provide the activity?

10. Managed Services - Traditional Outsourcing
Tomorrow
Complete - Strengths
Outsourcing: – Can reduce costs
“Your mess – Can provide access to investment
– Can provide access to skills
for less”
– Can improve service levels
– Can provide a better career for staff
– Can make staff happier
- Weaknesses
– (The opposite of the above)
– Takes a long time to procure
– Much resource in procuring
• Cost
• Your best staff
• Disruptive
– Considerable overhead
• Intelligent client
– Formal service levels
– Potential loss of control
• Outsource the thinking?
Today – Both sides committed to it?
– What happens at the end of the contract?
11. Managed Services - Off Shoring
Your Skills/Costs - Labour arbitrage
for Ours
– Local resource, near shore, off shore
Tomorrow – Find the right mix
– Politically easier than next door?
– Halve or more labour costs
- Availability of skills
- Greater need for planning, requirements definition
- Potentially a waning asset
– Greater automation will replace staff
– Lean processing moves resources to the
front line with less back office
– User requirements definition is becoming
a larger part of application build
Today
12. Managed Services - Shared Services
Tomorrow
Together we are
better - Examples round the country
- Typically they are all one-offs
- They take time to set up
– Many partnership and stakeholder issues
– Particularly hard with County and Districts
– Possibly easier with different agencies
in a locality with the same customers
- Savings can be small
- Often trying to protect jobs or building
on the best of each partner’s skills
- No National model to roll out at scale & pace
Today - Not sold their services elsewhere
- Not seen by Coalition as the way forward ??
13. Managed Services - Joint Venture
Public + Private = Better
- Combines public sector ethos & private sector efficiency
- Often start as a political necessity / fudge
– Tied to development agenda or job saving
Tomorrow – Objective is often ill-defined
- Create a new company
– With a board of directors, company reporting
– High costs
- Who will own it?
– Private / Public
• Majority private / majority public?
– Public / Public
• Ability to trade?
- “Fat” or “Thin” ?
- Trading company
– Sells it services elsewhere?
Today – Evidence of success?
- Secondment or TUPE?
14. Cloud: Consumption & Delivery Models
“Cloud” is a new consumption and delivery
model inspired by consumer Internet services.
Cloud enables:
Self-service Cloud Services
Sourcing options
Economies-of-scale Cloud Computing
Model
“Cloud” represents:
The Industrialisation of Delivery for IT
supported Services
Multiple Types of Clouds will co-exist:
Private, Public and Hybrid
Workload and / or Programming Model

17. High Cost of Traditional Data Centers
source NIST
- 11.8 million servers in data centers
- Servers are used at only 15% of their capacity
- Data centers typically consume up to 100 times more
per square foot than a typical office building
- Number of servers doubled from 2001 to 2006
- 800 billion dollars spent yearly on purchasing and
maintaining enterprise software
- 80% of enterprise software expenditure is on
installation and maintenance of software
18. Cloud Economics are unchallengeable
- “If you move your data centre to a cloud provider, it
will cost a tenth of the cost.” – Brian Gammage,
Gartner Fellow
- Use of cloud applications can reduce costs from 50%
to 90% - CTO of Washington D.C.
- WIPRO Published figures saying use of Cloud
resources cut development and implementation time
from months to days/weeks
- Preferred Hotel in the USA small scale implementation
– Traditional: $210k server refresh and $10k/month
– Cloud: $10k implementation and $16k/month

24. G Cloud - What will it look like?
Network Consolidation
Supplier Consolidation
Government Apps Store
SME Explosion
Data Centre /
G-Cloud
Public Sector Network
Quick wins
• Data centre space and systems capacity brokerage service
• Apps Dev environment as a service prototype for new work
• Initial Apps Store for cross government COTS at best prices
25. How will the ASG work?
- There will be a Certified Zone and an Open Zone
– Services in the Certified Zone will have been "pre-
procured”
– Innovation encouraged in the Open Zone
- Products available in a standardised, simple and low
cost way whilst maintaining legal compliance.
- Price and Performance Rating will be visible for
comparison, promoting competition and service
excellence.
- You can search or advertise for new applications and
services.
- Services at “Latest Best Price”
28. Implications for local government
Ian Trenholm
Chief Executive, Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead
‘A systematic sector wide effort to share processes will
create a market for standardised web based ICT systems
sold as application services. Benefits include; increased
contestability, the creation of opportunity for SMEs and
innovative commercial arrangements, maximising council
cost effectiveness......and ultimately creating better,
cheaper services for residents.’
SOCITM Paper on Cloud Computing
‘It is imperative that your operation embraces this approach
else be left behind by commerce. New start-ups that will
exploit these approaches to offer low cost and very easily
reconfigurable services will change public expectations of
responsiveness.’
29. Managed Services in the cloud - examples
NVM – Cloud based Call Centres
Wecomm – Cloud Mobile Solutions
Northgate Cloud PAYG Infrastructure
Memset Cloud Infrastructure
Azeus Cloud Social Care Solutions
Google Apps .......
Lotus Live Cloud Collaboration
EGS Cloud Marketplace and PTP
Cloud Infrastructure and Service Management will allow Local Authorities to buy
individual services delivering specialised, fit for purpose solutions which are
flexible and scalable, one‐off or PAYG from a range of suppliers including SMEs
