56% of civil servants working in IT or commercial functions are unaware of their organisations position on the all-important Public Sector Network. The problem is worse is central government (69% are unaware) compared to local government (31% unaware).

The PSN is expected could save up to £130m a year in central government by 2014. Within three years, the government wants 80% of its four million PC users to be using the network.

Research by BT surveyed 1300 from a wide range of areas of the public sector, to ascertain whether the public sector is effectively moving towards creating a shared information and communications infrastructure.
