IEG 1

The following is an extract from Salford's IEG1 Statement which is available to download from this page.

Salford has a well-established 5-year strategy to deliver electronic service delivery through modern organisational structures and business processes, underpinned by effective ICT applications and infrastructure. This is embodied in its Information Society strategy “People not Technology” which was endorsed as Council policy in March 1999.

Considerable progress has been made since the strategy was endorsed. There is good evidence of success and innovation, combined with strong project management and close working with partners to ensure effective delivery and long term sustainablility. ESD is becoming firmly embedded within the City Council and is seen as essential to delivering integrated, responsive, high quality services.

The strategy is led by an e-Government champion at both senior political and managerial levels, and has a high profile within the City Council. It is linked to the City Council strategic plans, including the five-year capital strategy and corporate performance management. In addition, there are firm corporate project control and management arrangements in place relating to specific delivery of the strategy, embodying PRINCE2 principles. A diagrammatic overview of eGovernment programme board arrangements is set out at Appendix 1.

The annual report on Modernising Services, outlining progress in the previous year, was presented to Council on 4 July 2001 and was well received.

Salford has become a LGOL Pathfinder Authority which will accelerate the programme, and provide significant potential for dissemination to others in the local government family.

Widespread support is also required in the local community and for that reason, there is a strong social inclusion and community ICT programme, which has a large number of innovative projects with significant benefits. These are linked to local community action plans, and local partner input. There are many examples of working in partnership at a number of levels, combined with a number of innovative solutions that are becoming attractive to the market and to the local government family.
