Action Taken Under Delegated Authority (Significant Operational Decision): Windows 10 Project Business Case: Fixed Estate Approach

The Head of Digital and Transformation in consultation with Deputy Chief Executive and the Cabinet Member for Resources has agreed that the Council adopts a Fixed Estate approach and invests in 325 new hybrid 2-in-1 devices.

 

It is essential that the organisation upgrades to Windows 10 before January 2020 to ensure all applications and operating systems are fully supported by Microsoft and therefore compliant with PSN standards.

 

As the Council’s wider Transformation Programme includes the rollout of new, mobile devices, the decision has been made to use the device rollout project as a means to deliver the rollout of Windows 10.  The Council’s ambition to move to a more agile and flexible work-force requires better, more flexible technology solutions including the user devices.  The Hybrid 2-in-1 device is designed to be as portable as a tablet, offering touch screen, 4G connectivity and optional stylus devices, while having a ‘fold away’ keyboard and the usual connectivity ports of a laptop; they can be used in the field, on the go, as effectively as in the office.  These devices are based on the latest technology specifications and therefore offer a longer working life cycle.

 

The alternative options considered as part of this decision can be found on the Council’s website.

 

The outcome of the procurement process for the purchase of the 2-in-1 devices will be submitted as a future Significant Operational Decision and published online and in the Councillors’ Information Bulletin.
