Decision details

Cabinet considered the head of corporate services’ report on the joint technology strategy.  This updated the current strategy agreed in 2018, allowed the council to develop its technology infrastructure to meet the needs of the corporate plan, allowed the council to provide for future needs as it moved to new offices, and allowed it to adapt to changes in IT provision.  The strategy was set out in appendix A to the report, published with the agenda. 

Cabinet welcomed the updated technology strategy and noted that it would support all objectives set out in the corporate plan.  Cabinet particularly welcomed the emphasis on meeting the climate emergency objectives of the corporate plan, with a move towards cloud-based services, plus carbon neutral and carbon negative IT solutions. 

RESOLVED:to note the update on the projects incorporated in the Joint Technology Strategy and to support the continuing implementation of the programme.
