Despite the reality of ongoing cuts, public expectations and demands are continuing to increase as a consequence of the austerity measures. In this climate even the best performing Local Authorities need to think and act differently to prioritise services and focus on what will deliver long-term value and real economic growth.  Although every local authority is different, they share many common challenges around how to:

  • Make better informed decisions based on the right information
  • Build local partnerships and share information
  • Do things differently (remove constraints) to Enable Citizens and Staff
  • Stimulate economic growth

Sopra Group has been working in partnership with local councils for many years to deliver transformation programmes that bring real impact in terms of service delivery, efficiency and environmental obligations. We work together with Local Authorities in a way that is information, rather than technology, led to implement change incrementally by understanding your existing assets and helping you to make the most of what you've already got.
