Action 11: Definition & Delivery
Cabinet Office will lead in the definition and delivery of a new suite of common technology platforms which will underpin
the new generation of digital services
Stakeholder(s):
- IT Reform Group: the IT Reform Group in the Cabinet Office will explain the benefits of a platform approach to departments and then incorporate
as appropriate in a refreshed IT strategy
- Government Digital Service: Government Digital Service will: * extend the range of platforms it supports beyond digital publishing (for GOV.UK) to data
insight, identity assurance and further common platform components * help to define, develop and provide shared technology
platforms to support digital by default services The Government Digital Service is also developing a data insight platform
that will combine a range of data including analytics, web operations and financial information. Using clear visualisations,
it will provide high level performance reports for leaders and more detailed data for service managers.
- Cabinet Office: Cabinet Office will lead in the definition and delivery of a range of common cross-government technology platforms, in consultation
with departments to ensure they meet business needs. These will underpin the new generation of digital services. Departments
will be expected to use these for new and redesigned services, unless a specific case for exemption is agreed.
- Identity Assurance Programme: We know that our users often find it hard to register for our online services, so it is vital that we offer a more straightforward,
secure way to allow our users to identify themselves online while preserving their privacy. The Identity Assurance programme
in the Cabinet Office will continue to develop a framework to enable federated identity assurance to be adopted across government
services in due course. All our work in this area is guided by the Identity and Privacy Principles drawn up by our Privacy
and Consumer Advisory Group.
