Results of the ICT F&B Survey
Document Actions
Mr. David Benfield (FAO) presented the results and conclusions of the UN System ICT Finance and Budget survey to the meeting. This survey sought to establish (a) metrics to help estimate ICT spending in key areas and (b) establish how ICT Directors would rank the initiatives in terms of savings potential, risk, effectiveness and organizational interest. On the basis of the results presented, seven initiatives were proposed to the meeting. These included: ICT Services Sourcing Strategy, ICT Development network, Common Application Solutions, Knowledge Management, ERP Systems, ICT Governance and Best Practice, Business Case Preparation and Costing and UN ICT Training. Given the importance of Knowledge Management to the UN system as a whole, the ICT Network agreed to also include this initiative as a priority.
Decision 1
It was agreed that for the work of the System, it would be more appropriate to refer to the Strategy as the UN System ICT Strategy Framework.
