Logicalis understands that the role and importance of ICT within public sector organisations has undergone dramatic changes in recent years. The most significant of these is the relationship between those who deliver ICT and those who consume the services it delivers.

This includes the way in which citizens engage with local government, central government, healthcare, education and revenue, the way those who deliver frontline public services interact with each other, and the strategies that procurement and finance adopt to achieve greater productivity, efficiencies and cost savings.
