Crown Commercial Service awards ISG a place on Cloud and
Digital Services supplier frameworks
Aim is to drive service innovation and cost savings for the
government and tax payers
LONDON, Aug. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Information
Services Group (ISG) (NASDAQ: III), a leading global technology
research and advisory firm, will provide IT advisory services
across Central Government under a new agreement with the Crown
Commercial Service (CCS), an executive agency of the UK
Government.
The new procurement arrangement, in which ISG has been awarded a
place on the CCS G-Cloud 9 and Digital Outcomes Specialist Supplier
(DOS2) frameworks, will enable departments across Central
Government and the public sector to leverage ISG resources to
ensure they are deriving maximum value from every commercial
relationship and to improve the quality of service delivery from
suppliers.
Through the G-Cloud 9 framework, ISG will assist the government
with an analysis of its current cloud usage and cost structures, as
well as identify areas where cloud services could be adopted. ISG
also will deploy its mark-to-market capability, which helps clients
benchmark their outsourcing arrangements against current market
conditions, allowing them to identify potential cost savings.
The second framework, the Digital Outcomes Specialist Supplier,
is designed to give the public sector an agile way to design, build
and deliver digital programs by providing access to specialists.
Within this area, ISG will use its own digital expertise to advise
on key strategic projects to ensure government services meet the
highest standards of delivery, security and privacy.
Phil Millward, ISG partner
specializing in the UK Public Sector, said: "We are immensely proud
and excited to have been given a place on the G-Cloud 9 and Digital
Outcomes Specialist Supplier frameworks. The awarding of this
agreement is a testament to the expertise and dedication of our
fantastic team, whose members continually strive to provide our
clients with market-leading advice, support and research.
"ISG continues to expand its Digital Advisory Services to
support both commercial and public-sector clients in their quest
for greater operating efficiency and, in the case of enterprises,
faster growth. This is an exciting time to be working with the
Crown Commercial Service and to assist the government as it strives
to meet its 'Digital by Default' commitment."
