The  network…in  design  

The  network…in  numbers  

The  network…in  reality  

•  All  4  Local  Authori3es  in  South  Yorkshire  already  have  services  running  across  the  Digital  Region  network  

•  45,000+  children  in  our  region  are  using  media  rich  tools  and  learning  resources  that  are  not  yet  available  in  most  schools  across  the  UK  

•  Barnsley  –  94  schools  •  Doncaster  –  80  schools  •  Rotherham  –  77  schools  •  Sheffield  –  169  schools  

•  NHS,  other  3rd  sector  organisa3ons,  business  and  residents  benefit  from  average  copper  speeds  of  ~36Mbps/13Mbps  

The  PSN...in  theory  

•  The  Public  Services  Network  (PSN)  will:  –  Create  a  ‘network  of  networks’  for  the  Public  Sector  from  the  exis3ng  commercial  networks  

–  Develop  a  market  place  providing  both  opportuni3es  for  industry,  and  savings  for  the  Public  Sector  

–  Change  the  way  Government  Departments  and  Agencies,  Local  Authori3es,  and  the  Third  Sector  buy  and  use  Voice  and  Data  Networks  

–  Drive  efficiencies  in  procurement,  through  a  range  of  technical  and  service  standards,  which  will  lead  to  an  open,  collabora3ve  environment  for  all  UK  Public  Sector  employees

The  PSN...in  prac3ce  

•  2  modes  of  thought:  –  True  opera3onal  efficiency    Replacement  to  Buying  Solu3ons
