Central & North West London NHS Trust (CNWL) has taken back control of its technology as a long term outsourcing contracts ends - taking a smart sourcing approach that sees it adopting best of breed technology and a hybrid approach to managed data services, public and private cloud.

Meanwhile Norfolk County Council has saved £1 million per annum by withdrawing from an outsourced managed service arrangement: 

"In my first year at Norfolk County Council," says Geoff Connell, head of IMT at the council, "my procurement lead and I withdrew from an outsourced managed service arrangement saving around £1 million per annum and significantly improving the service. This was achieved through a combination of insourcing and smart sourcing.  I look forward to discussing this and similar experiences during my career on UKA Live."
