To refresh an ageing end user device estate across Orbis partners and where possible to take advantage of standardisation to simplify the deployment and support of those devices. To provide Council staff with an end user device (desktop or laptop) that is fit for purpose enabling the staff to work more effectively and so improve the service provided to their service customers.
