24 the core principles of operation Principle Jointly owned Individual consumption Same services to all Standardised, commodity ICT infrastructure services Contract vendors manage service delivery Infrastructure services an Operational Expense activity Summary The participants jointly establish, govern and direct the SSO Participants individually use the shared ICT infrastructure services to run their business applications to support their operations The same ICT infrastructure services are available to all the participants, to the same services levels and same unit cost The SSO provides standardised, commodity ICT infrastructure services, which are current commercial offerings from vendors that can be made available without customisation The SSO contracts the service providers to deliver the ICT infrastructure services, and manages service delivery and leads service planning and service improvement The SSO will be Opex-based in relation to shared ICT infrastructure services, with service providers making whatever capital investment is required 24

25 New Zealand s only shared local body ICT infrastructure A packaged ICT infrastructure solution developed by Dimension Data specifically for the Local Government environment DIMENSION DATA was chosen for: its commitment to the model its partnering ethos, and its portfolio of infrastructure services 25

26 the building blocks for sustainability A MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT Defining what will be delivered, at what level of service and at what unit cost 5 years and extendable Consumption-based model; you pay for what you use and no more Shaped by core principles: Jointly owned Individual consumption Same services to all at same unit cost Standardised, commodity services Opex-funded Independence of council service delivery 26
