9. Benchmarking the ICT service
• Make the right decisions concerning your organisation’s
ICT service performance and cost
• “The Socitm benchmarking service provided an objective
comparison of desktop equipment specification and cost.
This allowed the council to challenge our contracted
supplier and ultimately led to a saving of around
£150,000.” Mike Jackson, Corporate ICT Manager, East
Riding of Yorkshire
• Over 230 organisations (including well over half of all UK
local authorities) have used the service since 1999
Measure it, manage it, improve it!

© Socitm Ltd
A suggestion…
– Form a pilot group (ideally 10+ strong)
– Review the KPIs and add to/amend/localise as needed
– Review the question sets and guidance notes and add
to/amend/localise as needed
– Use online collaborative tools and video/audio
teleconference, plus online ‘explainer’ videos, plus some
on-site support
– Run the process with the pilot group
– Primary comparisons would be with fellow group
members, but we could also add in selected UK data
– Review achievement of outcomes
– Incorporate learning and be ‘ready to go again’
