Delivery model options for IT management

    Examples of delivery model options for IT management include:

    • Decentralized— IT advisors reporting to the corporate head of IT provide primarily strategic advice. IT advisors reporting at the regional or sector/branch level provide strategic and operational IT support.

    • Mixed—A corporate IT group provides functional direction, establishes policies/standards, advises senior management on the overall IT strategy, and supports corporate applications/ infrastructure. IT specialists in branches/ sectors/ regions support program applications.

    • Corporate IT delivery model—A corporate IT group delivers all IT support (e.g., planning, portfolio management, application development, desktop support, infrastructure services) on behalf of sectors/ branches/ regions;  corporate IT advisors are dedicated to sectors/branches/ regions.

    • Government-wide centralized/ shared services—Government-wide shared services support standardized IT platforms and systems (e.g., email); centralized data centres; and common government-wide enterprise networks.

      Key IT management delivery considerations

      Key considerations in designing the IT management delivery model in the public sector include:

      • Government-wide IT support (e.g., shared services) provided
      • The role of the corporate IT group in departments/ agencies
      • The involvement of sectors, programs and regions in providing IT support and services (specialized support may be required in highly technical fields)
      • The reporting relationships of IT staff
      • External outsourcing and/or partnership arrangements and supplier availability and expertise
      • The need to share information on an organization-wide basis
      • Control of IT investment funding.
