Continuity and recovery
Identify critical services and their dependencies. Assess backup, restore and appropriately separated recovery environments.
Local government
Keep essential council services close to the communities they serve.
Connect council operating needs to a practical regional compute pathway, with governance, procurement and existing providers built into the design.
Discuss local governmentShared regional capability
Test whether common hosting, reporting or selected processing can serve several organisations without losing clear ownership and service boundaries.
Commercial and governance fit
Compare costs, procurement, funding, responsibilities and the decision pathway before committing to infrastructure.
A service decision, not just a hosting decision.
Compare application dependencies, recovery, procurement and shared-service opportunities across council functions. Retain clear control when several organisations use the same infrastructure.
Questions for the first brief.
- Which council services must recover first?
- Which existing provider and procurement arrangements need to continue?
- Who owns the service, its data and the decision to change?
Plan the next step for local government.
Service continuity, recovery, local data control and shared regional capability.
