2nd Government Digital Technology Congress: Excellence in digital, technology and data

One of the key and defining UK Government Technology Trends for 2019 will, of course, be Brexit, the UK’s departure from the EU will play a decisive role in public sector IT developments. The UK government will need to ensure that its IT systems can cope with any outcome of Brexit.

The impact on the central government has already been felt and will continue to do so. Financial, operational and technical challenges are unavoidable. The home office’s Digital Services at the Border programme is also widening its scope and will inevitably stumble across some Brexit related complications.

The impact of Brexit on law enforcement could also be huge, with police chiefs voicing their growing concern about the possibility of being shut out of crucial continent-wide criminal databases and tools such as the European arrest warrants.

The NHS, education, and local government will also face an array of Brexit-related challenges this year.

2018 proved a whirlwind of a year for the public sector, with technology solutions being core to our preparation for Brexit. With new GDPR legislation changing people’s perceptions of data and ambitious leader in the form of the new, digitally savvy, Health Secretary (Matt Hancock) and new Ministry of Defence CIO (Charles Forte), it’s an excellent foundation for why 2019 will be an even better year for public sector tech.
