According to the new administration’s State of Digital Government report\, more than a quarter of central government IT systems are classified as “legacy” – meaning that they are “based on an end-of-life product\, out of support from the supplier\, impossible to up date\, no longer cost-effective\, or considered to be otherwise above the acceptable risk threshold.”
\n\nAs the report warns\, this presents huge risks – including vulnerability to cyber-attacks and to service failu res – and drives up operating costs\, while blocking the introduction of a dvanced technologies such as AI. “Legacy risk is not effectively managed a cross the public sector and impacts service delivery in an unsustainable m anner\,” the report says.
\n\nTo address these challenges and renew
the government’s IT estate\, civil servants will need fresh investment\, p
roactive leadership\, and more innovative\, flexible solutions from techno
logy suppliers. And to ensure that this renewed estate provides a firm fou
ndation for new and emerging technologies\, they’ll need to carefully cons
ider their digital standards\, processes and architecture.
