This document outlines the current ICT strategy, emphasizing the need to harmonize separate technical infrastructures for Operational Support Systems (OSS) and Business Support Systems (BSS). The disparity in financial terms indicates a need for integration to create a single agency network, thereby leveraging national fiber investments. The document focuses on standardizing IP for data, voice, and video, applying economies of scale, and implementing a Single Sign-On service model. Recommendations include establishing a new managed service provider and an Integration Centre of Excellence to facilitate effective service delivery and enhanced operational capabilities.

ICT Strategy Service Management
As-is situation • Two separate technical infrastructures • OSS vs. BSS • OSS is 16x greater in financial terms • Two “parallel universes” - competing architectures • Fails “One Agency = One EA” maxim
Network Convergence • One Agency = One network • Expand NRTS – leverage investment in national fibre network • Standardise on IP for Data, Voice and Video • Single terminal access via a UOI • Economies of scale • Integration • Flexibility
Domains • Although one logical network… • Physically, a network of networks • Concept of domains and “Circle of Trust” • Federated identities (Single Sign-On)
Service Supply Chains • BSS • Atos Origin (ITIL v3) • OSS • NRTS • Area Teams (TechMAC’s): • Conceptually similar to the multi-service provider environment of the Public Sector Network (PSN) • Requires similar competitive, multi-supplier environment • Services need to be managed in a consistent manner (ITIL)
PSN Service Architecture • The PSN Service Architecture enables service inter-working and is shown below: SDF – Service Delivery Framework
Network Services • Under Network Convergence, this is an extended NRTS service • Current service runs from 2005-2015 • Needs to become PSN-compliant • Currently a single network domain • Separately managed • Currently Open and Untrusted
SOA Runtime Environment • Conceptually, an Enhanced Network Layer, in PSN terms • A new service – essentially the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) • Provides the “Glue” for all other services • New Managed Service Provider required • Requires Systems Integration capabilities
Virtualised Data Centre • Existing Data Centres: • Operational (OSS): • Coleshill • Westhoughton (Disaster Recovery Centre) • Business (BSS): • Andover (Atos Origin) • ICT Service Transformation (Atos Origin) is a step in the right direction (but only BSS Domain) • Need to extend into OSS Domain
Traffic Technology • Area Teams/ TechMAC’s (x14) • Future scope for rationalisation (Novation in the interim?) • Need to appear to HA as one virtual team
Traffic Information • Currently divided between NTCC and RCC’s (All Traffic Mgt Centres – TMC’s) • Common capabilities: • Traffic Management • Incident Management • Leading to the Common Control Framework • Virtualised To-Be architecture separates capabilities from organisation • Focus on services, e.g. TI2011+ and TCP • New Service Provider(s) 2011/2012
Common/Shared Services • Some may be provided externally on a Pan-Government basis (i.e. Shared Services): • HR and associated finance (Payroll, expenses, etc.) • GIS and cross-agency Incident Management • Others will be internal: • Unified Network Model • National State of the Network • Identity Management/Single-Sign-On
End-User (Desktop) Services • Includes the Unified Operator Interface • All other Desktop services and associated infrastructure • Currently Atos Origin for BSS/HAbIT • OSS – various???? • HA-wide service required
Security Services • Security Operations Centre (central monitoring/response) • Federated approach – domain-based • Automated provisioning: • From HR system for internal staff • From Contract Management system for 3rd party contractors • Standards-based: • Security Access Mark-up Language (SAML) • Liberty Identity Federation Framework (ID-FF) • WS-Federation • Security as a Service (not by Application) • Enterprise Single Sign-On (ESSO)
Systems Integration • Requires partnership with a recognised Systems Integrator • Establish an Integration Centre of Excellence (ICE)/Integration Competency Centre (ICC) • Design-time services to support Programmes/Projects and developers • Run-time support services to support Service Delivery, Operations & Maintenance
Service Delivery • Service Delivery includes: • Service Level Agreement (SLA) Mgt • Capacity Management • Contingency Mgt (Business Continuity) • Availability Management • Atos Origin for BSS • Various for OSS • Needs to be consistent across the HA (ITIL-based)
Operations & Maintenance • Service Desk/Service Request Mgt • Incident Management • Problem Management • Change Management • Release Management • Configuration Management • Atos Origin for BSS • Various for OSS • Needs to be consistent across the HA (ITIL-based)
