Home Office Digital, Data & Tech Move
Naureen Khan, Director of Public Services at techUK comments on Home Office Digital and Home Office Technology merger.
In a forward thinking move, the Home Office has decided to merge Home Office Digital and Home Office Technology units into one new unit to ensure a coherent and standardised approach to technology.
The new Home Office Digital, Data and Technology (HO DDaT) will be led by current CTO Sarah Wilkinson, who will become the Department’s Chief Digital, Data and Technology Officer.
Commenting on the merger, Naureen Khan, Director, Public Services at techUK said:
“Tech is critical to the Home Office’s transformation journey. Government is making good progress on its goal to attract private sector leaders like Sarah to drive transformation. We welcome this move which should lead to a more integrated approach and offer a huge opportunity to better harness data. Sarah has actively engaged with industry and we look forward to continuing to work with her in her new role"
