Using Cloud First ERP and CRM Shared Services to Further Cut Capital Cost and Reduce Operational Resource

“New GPS Cloud Based Collaborative Services Framework Recognition”

We are delighted to launch a Tricostar / Sage Public Sector Thought Leadership Point-of-View.It is designed to demonstrate to local and central government executives how significant additional savings can be made in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Citizen Relationship Management (CRM) solution deployment.This is achieved by enabling an enlarged shared service user community using the Cloud Collaborative Services delivery model as envisioned by the 2012 Government Procurement Service (GPS) Cloud Based Collaborative Services Framework.Local Government - Shared Service ExpansionLocal government is clearly influenced by central policy guidance.However the new Localism Act 2011 provides significantly more motivation for local authorities, and particularly city metropolitan councils, to innovate and achieve service improvements, even excellence, at significantly lower cost.More collaboration amongst regional councils is being encouraged using shared services and potentially in conjunction with, for example, police, emergency services and the NHS including the GP Consortia Pathfinder Groups, extending mobile collaboration as a critical enabler of service and productivity improvement with cost reduction.This Thought Leadership White Paper is available for download at here.
