Provision of Delivering Interoperability Discovery Project

Digital technologies are critical to enable collaboration between public sector organisations however currently, it is common for different parts of the government/public sector to adopt or create standards for recording, managing, using and sharing data according to their specific needs and challenges. This can mean that the way different parts of the government/public sector operate is inconsistent and incompatible with effective and efficient data exchange and reuse. To date, the UK Public Sector has not realised its ambition of creating joined up public services underpinned by effective interoperable systems to share data across multiple organisations Interoperability is the ability of two or more systems to exchange information securely and to use that information independently of technology. All CCS Customers will have to address interoperability issues and challenges to ensure future sustainability, efficiency and effective delivery of secure online public services.
