​The States of Jersey public sector is facing significant pressure for efficiencies and savings. This has created the context to take a fresh look at the States’ use of Information Services and to review how it can better exploit the use of, and investment in, its information, business systems and technology services. It is an aim of Information Service to enable and support States’ Departments in meeting the challenges being faced.

This strategy, for the period 2011 – 2013, will provide the organisation with the opportunity of making cost savings without reducing, and in some cases improving, the level of service provided. It will focus on four key streams:

• common IS user support
  
• a common IS infrastructure
  
• common business applications based on common processes
  
• enterprise information governance
