End User Device
Vision The End User Device Strategy is a key
enabler in changing the way that government
works. It will help departments increase the
productivity, flexibility and mobility of their
workforce, by delivering a range of standard
devices at lower cost so that Government can
deliver better, more agile and cost effective
public services.
Update The pan-government strategy produced
collaboratively by HMRC, Cabinet Office and the 5
largest central government consumers of ICT has
been published. We are mobilising The core
programme team is in place to deliver the
strategy over the next 18-months. We are
engaging across the wider public sector to ensure
a broad consensus and to maximise opportunities
for departments and suppliers.

• Opportunities
• Currently there are 3 ways that suppliers can
  support the delivery and implementation of the
  strategy, by
• working with departments to start implementing
  the principles of the strategy
• volunteering to help deliver demonstrators that
  showcase the principles of the strategy
• engaging with us to help refine and shape our
  approach by contributing ideas, innovation and
  experience.

• Objectives
• Over the next few months we will
• produce the outline vision for the programme and
  define the outcomes to be delivered and what this
  means for departments and suppliers
• engage with key stakeholders to communicate
  vision, outcomes and benefits
• produce an outline business case to define the
  costs and benefits for the preferred approach
• develop example solutions to highlight the
  benefits and challenges of implementing the
  strategy
