Making information systems work

Find out more about the Making Information Systems Work programme

New technology has transformed the way we interact with one another and do business. 

However, as systems become ever-more complex, the challenges of effective implementation are greater than ever. 

These are challenges to the whole business, not just IT, and require engagement from all across the organisation in the effective management and use of technology.

The Making Information Systems Work programme considers these opportunities and challenges, engaging all sectors of the economy in the debate. It is based on three themes:

  • Value: the economic case for IT investment;
  • Trust: a secure environment to transfer information; and
  • Standards: a sound technical basis for the exchange of information between parties.

Measuring IT returns addresses the theme of value and considers the challenges faced by many businesses in applying financial analysis to IT investment opportunities. 

In doing so, it aims to help businesses apply such techniques more meaningfully, thereby improving decision making and implementation in practice.
