4.7. Architecture and Standards

The architecture and standards strand underpins all elements of the ICT Strategy. Through setting the right standards we ensure that each element of the strategy can interoperate with each other, and through defining a consistent architecture we ensure that the strategy is defined in a way that can be reused and deployed across the whole of the public sector. The technical architecture describes the solutions that will be used to build the G-Cloud and G-AS. Standard reference architectures are used to define the agreed way to build reusable technical services that could run in a G-Cloud.

    Once again the possibilities are endless, yet because as we are now run in both sectors (private and public) by a nation of mindless managers who don’t have the thought or vision for the future (or true real life IT skill sets) we will end up with a simple IT solution with manual work around’s employing more people to fix the issues and problems and class it as a success. Given the failure of IT within the government over the past 10 years, shouldn’t this be scrapped and allow them to resort back to paper and pens? Or, just maybe, they should employ someone with real IT skills, who has the vision, and the passion to push the boundaries of current technologies and implement a solution that won’t be out of date before the white paper was published? Maybe I am cynical, but after working on countless projects within the private sector of which all privately managed work has been a success (94%+) why should we allow this to go forward? Don’t we as the tax payer at the end of the day have a right to make sure that any project run and paid for from by the government from re-planting trees to re-engineering the atom is done in the best way possible?
