Public Private Partnership

  • Public-private tensions in smart city collaboration

    Private startups can help governments alleviate the pressures of urbanisation and improve the quality of city life, but partnerships between the two sectors are not always straightforward

    The rise of smart cities is providing unprecedented opportunities for mutually beneficial public-private partnerships to provide new business opportunities, cost efficiencies, and greater access to specialist skills and expertise.

  • Public-Private-Partnership: Herkules kann noch nicht laufen

    "IT-Stab" mit "IT-Direktor", das "IT-Amt" der Bundeswehr und der "Gründungsstab IT-Gesellschaft" stehen bereit: Herkules, die Public-Private-Partnership zwischen Bund und Industrie für die Bundeswehr, steckt aber immer noch in den Vertragsverhandlungen fest. Absurde Forderungen der Ministerialbürokratie und die Komplexität des Auftrags erschweren das Zusammenkommen der Partner. Und nach den Verhandlungen muss das gesamte Paket noch durch Haushalts- und Verteidigungsausschuss sowie durch den Deutschen Bundestag. Ein Fall für Zeitgenossen mit eisernem Nervenkostüm.

Both types of readers are made Sweden's Todos Data System.

    Tanzania's science minister, Makame Mbarawa, has recently called on the public and private sectors in Rift Valley nations to collaborate on information and communications technology (ICT), highlighting examples of how such partnerships have benefited his country's development.

  • TZ: Need for partnership in promoting ICT in education

    It is widely known that provision of education, especially basic education is entirely the responsibility of the government.

    However, governments are increasingly burdened with increasing demand of education services matched with increased enrolment, especially at primary and secondary education levels.

    The governments therefore take initiatives to involve the private sector in supporting the education development.

    Die Gütersloher Arvato AG hat im Oktober zahlreiche Verwaltungsprozesse bis hin zur Berechnung von Steuern und zum Zahlungseinzug sowie den IT-Sektor des "East Riding"-Kreises in Yorkshire im Rahmen einer Public Private Partnership (PPP) übernommen. "Wir sind in einige ganz klar hoheitlich definierte Bereiche vorgedrungen", erklärte Christoph Baron, Leiter Government Services bei der Bertelsmann-Tochter, am heutigen Donnerstag auf dem Forum "Public Sector" des Branchenverbands Bitkom in Berlin. Dabei werde aber etwa mit der Prüfung von Widersprüchen gegen Steuerbescheide kontrolliert, "ob die bisherige Qualität gehalten wurde".

    Too many so called 'partnerships' between councils and the private sector fail to live up to the label, according to a new report

    The assertion has been made by the Society of IT Management (Socitm) and the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (Cipfa) in a report published on 11 April 2005. Titled A marriage of convenience? A review of experiences from partnerships and outsourcing contracts, it is based on a survey of 26 local authorities that have been involved in outsourcing.

  • US: California: Las Vegas Fusion Center Is a Model for Public-Private Collaboration

    Each year more than 30 million people are drawn to Nevada by Las Vegas’ luster. The self-proclaimed “Entertainment Capital of the World” is home to 18 of the world’s 25 largest hotels, and more than 19,000 conventions were held in the city in 2009. Las Vegas is without question a terrorist target. Beyond the cop on the street, there’s an effective, underlying layer of security that may be unprecedented, and it starts with the fusion center, the Southern Nevada Counter-Terrorism Center (SNCTC), an all-hazards, 24/7 model for public-private collaboration.

    In an unassuming building near McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, 14 different agencies from federal, state and local government work together toward one goal: to keep residents and tourists safe. One of three fusion centers in the state, the SNCTC stands out because it’s an all-hours operation that focuses not only on terrorism, but also on all crimes and hazards.

  • US: Improving Infrastructure Through Public-Private Partnerships — a Growing Trend

    More governments look to private partnership as new responsibilities mount.

    Public-private partnerships are now an option to more than half the states in the nation. And as governments find themselves responsible for a growing range of project areas, like broadband, the benefit of increased resources for projects that might not happen otherwise, like broadband, is pushing the trend forward.

  • US: The New Faces of Public-Private Collaboration

    A wave of government-focused technology startups are changing the way governments serve their citizens

    Local government partnerships with the business community are often perceived as deals and contracts with large, established corporations. Yet as startup scenes flourish in cities across the U.S., these partnerships are increasingly bringing together local governments and small, emerging startups in the civic innovation space. The result is a win for both sectors: cities are exposed to nimble technologies and creative ideas, and young companies get an opportunity to test and refine their products while serving the public interest.

  • USA: ''Partnering with government ‘key to the kingdom’''

    Acting in partnership with government customers “is the key to the kingdom,” a Lockheed Martin Corp. executive told information technology industry executives today at the IRMCO conference in Cambridge, Md.
