The Public Sector

The Public Sector is constantly evolving, with a host of initiatives and projects aimed at improving services and internal efficiencies. The dynamic nature of this changing environment brings new challenges with regards to IT support and software testing. IT in the public sector must deal with unique issues, providing technology solutions geared up for public service modernisation, supporting e-Government policy for enabling Electronic Delivery of services and a single cross-departmental view of the customer.

Of particular importance is the need to improve access to information internally within Government departments and when dealing with the business community or the general public. This is reflected in the drive by the Public Sector to embark on projects that focus on its ability to deliver services more efficiently. By taking advantage of new and emerging communication channels, including the internet, IT in the Public Sector must be available to all its stakeholders and must also enable ‘joined-up Government’. Regulations in such areas as freedom of information and data privacy, as well as targets for e-Government, provide an additional impetus for much of this work. We work with our clients to ensure that they are able to comply with these regulations, as well as providing guidance to ensure they comply with BS7799, GSI and Government Gateway security standards.

At SDLC we have a long and successful track record providing software testing solutions within the Public Sector with a broad experience base gained from working with clients in local and central government, education and the health sectors. Our sector experience and our extensive knowledge of this constantly changing environment, position us well and enable us to deliver exceptional results for our Public Sector clients.

We are currently involved in many initiatives being undertaken in the Public Sector and are helping to create systems and processes to satisfy our clients’ core requirements for increased efficiencies, modernisation of processes and also, most importantly, increased value for money for the taxpayer.

SDLC is uniquely placed to deliver software testing solutions to the Public Sector, constantly evolving our service offerings to reflect the needs of the market and helping our clients to plan and deliver projects to pre-defined timescales and budgets, whilst ensuring compliance with both ISO9001: 2000 Series and ITIL regulations.
