A “digital by default” Public Service

The government has recently launched plans to save £1.4bn from ICT spending and drive forward the internet as a means to deliver public services in the future.
Through the ICT Strategy Strategic Implementation Plan, the government expects to make savings over the next four years, helping to develop a "digital by default" public services policy, and thus improving the efficiency and quality of government departments' ICT and creating a more open and competitive marketplace.

Key Milestones:
-       50% of central government departments' new ICT spending moved to public cloud computing services by the end of 2015
-       The government also plans to publish a cloud computing strategy this month.
-       80% of the Public Services Network (PSN) compliant by March 2014
-       Set of development targets of a Government application store

With this new plan the Government shows its commitment to deliver a better service to citizens through government ICT projects.
