“Symantec 25” is a programme designed to enable the UK Public Sector to reduce spend on software by up to 25%, in line with government austerity measures. Additional benefits of the Symantec 25 programme include the ability to:

• Maximise buying power – by buying at an enterprise level as opposed to per project, savings will be optimised
• Reduce Risk – by using software from a reputable, stable and well-known provider there is less risk of failed projects
• Retain flexibility - Symantec solutions are available as software or as a managed service.  By standardising, government organisations can be more in control of change as it happens
• Improve planning – by being in control of costs on a standard platform, it’s possible to budget better for future projects
• Shared Service – Symantec 25 supports individual government bodies, buying as a group or as a true ‘Shared Service’, where one council for example would manage the Symantec portfolio for many others
