No public data was available online.
The U.K. government was spending £25 billion pounds per year on IT, more per head than any country on earth.
There were 750 central government websites, and none even shared a single common login.
In it, he explains how he helped transform the U.K. government into one of the most open and accessible when it comes to data and digital services, while saving billions of pounds in the process.
