Wiltshire County Council has outsourced the management of its IT infrastructure to services provider Steria in a £12m five-year contract. Steria will take over the operations of the Wiltshire County Council's IT infrastructure at the beginning of October 2006. It will manage systems used by 3,500 council workers. About 900 workers are now based at County Hall in Trowbridge. Other workers are based at 200 other sites across Wiltshire. This contract will provide the flexible framework to deliver improved services. Developing a new infrastructure and improving technology are part of the business change process.
Tim Gregory, head of IT at Wiltshire said: 'We are enabling major changes across the authority, and we wanted to be able to try and drive that change by providing technical facilities and a good IT service to ensure that we can make the changes in HR practices and Financial management that we need to make.'
