Government and IT spending

After recently reading an article on how Government are wasting an ‘obscene’ amount of money on failed IT projects, I was pretty surprised to hear the number of these projects that actually fail to get lifted off the ground. The fact that Zipporah now have close to 60 live systems with authorities throughout the UK, with strong, solid relationships with each of its clients proves that this idea that IT systems being a waste of money is not always true.

I think it comes down to experience of suppliers, and those without the knowledge of how to overcome potential problems within the public sector can sometimes become unstuck, resulting in projects being cancelled or being listed as failed. Luckily Zipporah have a wealth of experience of working with local authorities and are aware that sometimes you can be presented with challenging obstacles. However this doesn’t mean that this could potentially result an unsuccessful project, we feel that we have the required communication skills and key knowledge of how local authorities work to ensure that these problems can be overcome and the project can continue towards a successful implementation.
