What about the SME’s? As a leader at a Yorkshire SME business, yesterday was a hard read with the Labour budget. Big rises in costs in light of already higher cost bases. How will it impact their growth plans? With the increased pressure now for SME’s, it is even more important that Public Sector spend is devolved more fairly to British SME’s. 👌 So I am even more excited to announce our latest framework award news at ACS Group. To all Public Sector procurement in West Yorkshire - lets talk how we can add value, save our tax payer monies and support the SME industry at the same time. ACS group will re group, re set and fight to make sure that framework spend is promoted more equally to British SME’s, and show we can compete with the European and global giants on them. Big up to all the SME’s today in the UK 🙌🏽 Tom Lowe Conrad Flerin Carl Whitham Adam Blades Bradford Council Leeds City Council Kirklees Council Wakefield Council Oldham Council WestYorkshire Police Sheffield City Council Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council Leeds Beckett University University of Leeds University of Bradford The University of Huddersfield #SME #LocalBusiness #GCloud14

The new UK Government is committed to increasing the efficiency of public sector organisations through greater #AI implementation, but Veritas Technologies LLC UK Field CTO Richard Wainwright is quick to highlight the need to have the foundations in place first, particularly in terms of data management and protection. #Datamanagement is also the key to prevention of AI hallucination – the creation of false information – which can be critical be extremely dangerous in the public sector. Think Digital Partners Wainwright suggests "good planning, good training, putting the right data into it, and being very specific about the use case that it’s for, rather than trying to apply it to everything and anything.” is the way forward for greater public sector efficiency in the AI era Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ghrQgEin   #DataSecurity #PublicSector #AI”

Despite the increasing complexity and critical nature of technology environments, funding methods have remained outdated and misaligned with modern needs. Adopting a people-centric planning approach, with long-term funding and a focus on products and value streams, enhances visibility, aligns technology with business metrics, and empowers teams to innovate while minimizing business risks.
