Common Solutions

Collaboration is key to success. That’s why our Common Solutions Portfolio is central to everything that we do at the Digital Office.

Our Common Solutions Portfolio looks at how we can deliver digital solutions in an increasingly integrated way, bringing several benefits to Scottish local authorities including:

• Reducing duplicative investment and operational costs.
• Identifying opportunities for collaborative procurement with support from Scotland Excel.
• Improving the customer experience across the public sector.
• Increasing cyber security by ensuring investments are focused and targeted.
• Enabling greater innovation in digital public services.

We understand the range of challenges and barriers that exist to the wider adoption of common solutions across local government, and the broader public sector. The work of the Digital Office looks to address these challenges working towards implementable solutions.
