The Highways Agency has invested £75 million in an IT outsourcing deal which experts say will save it up to 15 per cent annually. IT services company Atos Origin has been signed up for the five year contract with the agency to manage its infrastructure and provide applications management services. Chris Price, Highways Agency service review manager, said: "As a public sector organisation, it is essential that the Highways Agency makes the best use of public funds. "Following a thorough procurement and evaluation process, Atos Origin demonstrated the capability to deliver improved services - and service levels - to staff, along with demonstrable efficiencies resulting from technological innovations." Under the contract 120 Highways Agency staff will transfer to Atos Origin and the firm will deploy its managed desktop performance platform Atos Workplace Solutions. The platform allows software to be uploaded and problems to be solved remotely while providing flexible access to corporate resources from desktop and mobile devices.  |
