The British Cabinet Office has published a guide for government departments that are considering cutting their operating costs by ICT offshoring.

The Cabinet Office’s Government ICT Offshoring Guide discusses how public sector departments can benefit from cost savings, increased skills capacity and improved delivery times by outsourcing their IT requirements to offshore providers.

However, government departments are warned to be aware of security, IT standards and data protection risks when considering their offshoring options.

The guide advises procurers in government departments to take particular care when signing offshoring agreements that involve data transfers, and to ensure that the requirements of all relevant data protection legislation are fulfilled.

Systems Valley's offshore facilities are ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certified, which means they adhere to the highest possible standards of quality and information security.

So if you outsource with us, you will enjoy all the cost-saving benefits of offshoring, but with the peace of mind of working with a UK-based company that adheres to the highest possible standards of customer service and data protection.
