Across the Regional Economies


Western Europe budget deficits soared as a result of the recession, bank rescues and fiscal stimulus packages mounting public debt jeopardized the sustainability of economic recovery ending the fiscal and monetary stimulus proved to be much harder than starting it every policymaker recognized that the situation was unsustainable Central and Eastern Europe Increased unemployment, austerity budgets and a lack of government transparency continue to dog Central and Eastern Europe

Middle East economic crisis was not particularly acute across the region political and social turmoil disrupted business and threatened to divide the region into winners and losers
Africa Economies proved resilient through the financial crisis, but growth is hampered because of skills scarcity and weak infrastructures

This is Creating a Major Challenge for Government CIOs...


Systems arent adaptable IT costs are too high Processes are too cumbersome Theres too much waste Service delivery is too slow

Data isnt being protected


Projects are too big, take too long New services are needed now Rigid systems dont adapt to flexible processes

Government CIOs Recognize the Need for a New Approach to IT


Commercial arrangements that offer value for money

Cross-departmental projects that deliver systems that are fit for purpose without extensive customization
What IT is used for is of critical importance, but in todays economy how IT is used is just as important simultaneous leverage of both is the best approach Along with fleet services, energy, and other services, ICT is now considered to be a commodity and will be procured accordingly

Last but certainly not least, government investment in IT is significant

SMART DELIVERY

Delivery Pressure Points


In Western Europe the major issue continues to be about money ICT costs are perceived to be higher than necessary given the availability of alternative delivery mechanisms In CEE the push from the European Union to get government spending under control (despite the weak economy) means reducing costs will be the top priority and one of the biggest challenges for IT departments in the public sector. There is increasing vigilance and calls by citizens across the MEA region for improved transparency and accountability from their governments. At the same time, there is an acute lack of IT human resources to support development requirements.

Use of Cloud Services is On the Rise


In Western Europe the move to cloud services will continue to be led by the UK at both the central and local government levels with emphasis on private cloud Rationale for cloud is spread equally across cost efficiency, scalability, faster deployment of applications, and support for establishing standard processes In CEE and MEA, cloud services will continue to attract attention, but widespread adoption will be hindered by security concerns and legal requirements and constraints.

In much of EMEA, 2012 will see a dramatic increase in government use of private cloud services, particularly in Western Europe

IDC Government Insights. Reproduction is forbidden unless authorized. All rights reserved.

Open Source Software Becomes Mainstream


The open source software (OSS) movement has gained ground in WE, the UK is the most recent government to announce plans for its use, although there are still questions about the validity of claims re lower costs we expect the use of OSS to increase

The perception of lower cost and increased flexibility will drive higher government interest in the use of open source software in 2012

In CEE growth in the use of OSS has been organic, but the recession has intensified pressure to use OSS to cut costs and we expect the move to OSS to increase, more slowly in some countries than in others In MEA, the public sector will continue to be a key proponent of OSS, however government IT decision makers still consider it to be risky and are more likely to use OSS for back end systems rather than client-facing solutions

IDC Government Insights. Reproduction is forbidden unless authorized. All rights reserved.

Shared Services Increasingly Favoured


We expect the shared services model to be pushed to its limits to satisfy the need to cut costs pooled resources. There will be increasing exploration of service sharing across organisational and geographic boundaries as well as sharing services will the private sector. Services will be performed in-house, shared or outsourced . In CEE, central governments will expand existing services or create new shared services options for government entities working at the ministerial to municipal level, emphasizing the benefits of common platforms and scalable functionality.

As the belt-tightening continues there will be a marked increase in the adoption of shared services in many shapes and sizes at all levels of government, across all public sector organizations, departments and functions

Centralization/Virtualization/ Consolidation Top of Mind


Once the poster-child of Green IT, virtualization and consolidation are now considered key to optimized resource use and cost reduction and we expect governments to accelerate the reduction in the number of servers and data centers
It is not unusual for governments to experience short term (almost immediate) savings as a result of server virtualization Cost savings through desktop virtualization has proven to be a slower process, but has delivered lower expenses associated with desktop support, application delivery, desktop provisioning and application and operating system maintenance A return to all-encompassing IT centralization is unlikely, but there is a definite trend towards centralization of specific activities, IT procurement for example

IDC Government Insights. Reproduction is forbidden unless authorized. All rights reserved.

BPO Will be the Option of Choice in Many Situations


Staff reductions, budget cuts, and skills shortfalls will increase government interest in outsourcing generally and BPO in particular BPO providers are expanding European operations expectations re growth are high, both from the public sector and other industries Experience will prove that effective BPO required more hands-on management than IT outsourcing Governments will increasingly expect BPO to deliver innovative service delivery, but this will require a change in incentives and the need for a more concerted partnering effort
IDC Government Insights. Reproduction is forbidden unless authorized. All rights reserved.

Interest in BPO will increase across governments in Europe, particularly if there are obvious cost savings

SMART PROCUREMENT AND COMMISSIONING


IDC Government Insights. Reproduction is forbidden unless authorized. All rights reserved.

Procurement and Commissioning Pressure Points


Governments in WE are facing the biggest financial squeeze in living memory, but there has been insufficient focus on achieving and leveraging cashable savings opportunities offered by improved procurement commissioning practices Lengthy ICT outsourcing contracts have come under fire rising costs, goals not met, difficult to manage are just some of the reasons governments are exploring alternatives In MEA, there are efforts to bridge the public sector financing gap for infrastructure projects with contributions from the private sector and there is also pressure for greater transparency and corruption prevention.

IDC Government Insights. Reproduction is forbidden unless authorized. All rights reserved.

New Procurement and Commissioning Practices Will be the Order of the Day
Public sector contracting authorities differ greatly in size, culture and objectives and range from the very large to the very small and the experience of those responsible for initiating and managing the procurement process vary widely. More transparency, improved commercialism, new provisioning models, new financing models all are on the table, but all involve significant change
Single contracts for routine commodities has proven to save money and makes sense governments will increasingly negotiate for the same or similar services across multiple departments

Governments will continue to re-write the procurement and commissioning rules and ICT and related services will be subjected to changes including innovative funding, multiparty joint ventures, pay as you go, and cross-agency contracts

IDC Government Insights. Reproduction is forbidden unless authorized. All rights reserved.

Payment on Priority Based Outcomes Will Become More Palatable


Payment for inputs is no longer acceptable it exposes the government to the risk of over-payment and payment for services it doesnt use or need and stifles innovation Payment for results or outcomes transfers the risk of delivery to providers, it empowers and provides incentives for them to succeed Priority based outcomes will undoubtedly be driven by business processes that cross departmental structures and budget, however the potential for innovation and rethinking service delivery is enormous Defining measurable business benefits is critical to the success of outcome based commissioning

To minimize the risk of inappropriate public sector spending, in 2012 we expect to see more contracts based on payment for priority-based measurable outcomes

SLAs: It Will be More Obvious that the Devil is in the Details


Governments continue to favor systems that are externally hosted and managed CIOs will need to pay closer attention to all contracts that require specific services and specific performance levels as part of their delivery government-wide standardization evolves and grows As transition occurs, IT centers in government agencies will become less about systems operation and maintenance and more about serving as centers of information technology expertise

Increased use of cloud computing will require more time to be spent on reviewing the terms and conditions of service-level agreements to ensure needed services are properly covered

SMART INFORMATION MANAGEMENT


IDC Government Insights. Reproduction is forbidden unless authorized. All rights reserved.

Information Management Pressure Points


The Internet of Things has the propensity to create extraordinary volumes of data, offering significant potential for re-use and unprecedented analytical opportunities and present real-time and future leverage Much of the data available for collection and analysis is personal, its ownership is ill-defined, but its sensitivity is without doubt. There are benefits to be gained from its capture but there are enormous risks involved in paying little attention to the need for privacy and security. Ongoing investment in information management is vital. The risk of non-compliance with increasing regulation and legislation as well as the risk of political embarrassment are sufficient to warrant ongoing investment in information security.

IDC Government Insights. Reproduction is forbidden unless authorized. All rights reserved.

Investment in Information Management and Security will be Paramount


The right to privacy and to the protection of personal data are fundamental rights in the EU which must be also online effectively enforced using the widest range of means To ensure the availability of missioncritical systems, and also build confidence amongst the citizenry and trust in the various online services that governments are promoting, security solutions will be seen as a critical investment The push for paperless administration will increase use of e-filing and e-signatures and enhance the need for document management solutions; but uptake will be slower than in WE, as converting paper to electronic formats remain a major challenge

The volume of digital information will continue to grow but, in a world of changing technologies and increasing threat sophistication, government investment in organizing, managing, and securing this data will receive high priority and continue to increase

IDC Government Insights. Reproduction is forbidden unless authorized. All rights reserved.

Big Data Analysis will Introduce New Opportunities for Innovation


Governments have the ability to assemble more detailed pictures of their citizens and business than ever before There will be increased investment in solutions that address the need for realtime, streaming data analysis such as complex event processing, rules engines, and related software for real-time monitoring, alerting, analytics, and intelligent process automation Turbulent social environments and the need for improved transparency will force public-sector organizations to reconsider and potentially revise their business models and strategies based on real-time data. In MEA, governments will start to leverage online social media as a preferred platform for citizen engagement

Governments will develop plans that allow for easy access and analysis of both data and content to better support the most appropriate distribution of social, healthcare, and educational services and resources

Advice for Government IT Buyers


Operational efficiency, program performance outcomes, and services delivery capabilities via new and emerging service channels are the keys to IT investments Require continual strategy innovations, highly focused IT solutions and services investment, collaboration across agencies and governments, and new partnering schemes with IT vendors Focus on Smart Government maturity and the opportunity to capitalize on Big Data, open data and transparency innovations, and the acceleration of personal mobile technologies to leverage value from social networking and collaboration with their workforce and citizens

Integrate metrics and frameworks for evaluating and incorporating IT services into their portfolios that extend the full life cycle of lines of business and services and deliver measured value-based outcomes
Build reliable return on investment (ROI) models that will help agencies analyze new IT service models, and help build business cases for new types of IT investment (and migration away from older legacy systems)

Advice for Vendors to Government


Align solutions and services offerings to broader government operational efficiency (as opposed to narrower cost savings) and business outcomes

Agile and innovative solutions that focus on government lines of business (human services, public safety, etc.) and emerging technologies (mobile devices) and that maximize government program and service outcomes will win
Analyze where funding and programs are strategically positioned, as well as careful and serious consideration of how to advance Smart Government collaboration that gives governments new opportunities to achieve their goals Help government organizations leverage existing legacy investments and create the longer-term view for them to migrate to the nextgeneration infrastructure/service environment
