Government information systems are big business (costing over 1 per
cent of GDP a year). They are critical to all aspects of public
policy and governmental operations. Governments spend billions on
them - for instance, the UK alone commits L14 billion a year to
public sector IT operations.
Yet governments do not generally develop or run their own systems,
instead relying on private sector computer services providers to
run large, long-run contracts to provide IT. Some of the biggest
companies in the world (IBM, EDS, Lockheed Martin, etc) have made
this a core market. The book shows how governments in some
countries (the USA, Canada and Netherlands) have maintained much
more effective policies than others (in the UK, Japan and
Australia). It shows how public managers need to retain and develop
their own IT expertise and to carefully maintain well-contested
markets if they are to deliver value for money in their dealings
with the very powerful global IT industry.
This book describes how a critical aspect of the modern state is
managed, or in some cases mismanaged. It will be vital reading for
public managers, IT professionals, and business executives alike,
as well as for students of modern government, business, and
information studies.
