DTSI

The Digital Transformation Service (Improvement) helps Scottish public sector organisations to improve user experience, increase efficiencies, and access the information and support they need to improve their internal and citizen-facing systems. The organisation works collaboratively with Scottish public sector bodies to help develop an understanding around business goals, project timescales, budget, risks and opportunities. DTSI supports organisations by providing signposting, advice, and guidance, as well as experts on hand to support each organisation’s existing teams.

The event will also feature an intro from our CEO: Harry Dunne, as well as an overview of our sustainability strategy (and how Public Sector organisations can reach Net Zero, faster) from our Net Zero Practice Lead: Finian Quinn.

We’d like to extend our invitation to IT Leaders within the Public Sector to build connections and strengthen existing relationships between our team of experts, our trusted partners at Salesforce, and your peers within the Scottish Public Sector. On the 24th November, we’ll be serving up a delicious and varied brunch, alongside interesting talks, demonstrations, and customer success stories, all in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, at the COSLA Conference Centre.

COSLA is the voice of Local Government in Scotland. It was officially established in 1975, but the organisation’s principles originate over 800 years ago – evolving from the Convention of Royal Burghs. This was once the oldest representative body in Europe and has been standing up for Scotland’s local priorities since it’s inception. Steeped in history and tradition, COSLA is now situated in the heart of Edinburgh, right beside Haymarket railway station. The COSLA Conference Centre is a modern, spacious venue with a wealth of flexible rooms and the latest audio-visual technology, and is a popular venue for Public Sector conferences and meetings.

When looking for a venue to host our networking event in, the obvious choice for our day of presentations and evening drinks reception was COSLA, and we look forward to you joining us there.

As Bluewave continues to deliver successful solutions across the Scottish public sector, we see overlap in customer requirements and deliveries and envisage advantages in promoting collaboration and knowledge sharing across Salesforce users. We are all mindful of the recent years during the pandemic where innovative solutions were built to solve complex problems, while never physically meeting. We hope that starting a series of ongoing public sector events will lead to a broader understanding of what has been completed over the years by various departments, and nurture ideas, discussion and efficiencies by sharing knowledge.” – Paul Mooney, Bluewave Technology
