East Devon, Exeter and Teignbridge councils are due to decide by the end of July on whether they will jointly own ICT company Strata Service Solutions. If agreed each council will take an equal share of the company which will be staffed by existing ICT staff. Moving to this shared service strategy will allow the councils to retain existing knowledge and experience, reduce costs and reducing risks from running ICT systems that are proving too complex for individual local authorities.
