Background The pilot group was made up of Cabinet, SLT, OSM as well as democratic services and support staff. Luke Smithģ APPENDIX A Paperless Meetings Pilot - Detailed Findings For reference, more detailed findings does not need to be read as information is summarised in the presentation. The project is aiming to submit the proposal to SLT by the end of July, by which point ICT should be in a position to roll the service out straight away. A similar discussion with cabinet on any wider use for members is yet to be had. There will be no further extension of users pending the report 10. That any wide scale deployment of new devices is driven though Bristol Workplace as part of the programme, to ensure technology aligns with the target workplace environment. Any other wider use is subject to strategic director sign off within an overall total limit we will set. The proposal will identify the extent of the future roll out, i.e. The operational service will need to assess any information security risks and outline how these will be mitigated 6. The proposal would outline the impact of this operational service in terms of cost and benefits. The project would go back to SLT with a proposal for a limited further deployment, which details how this will happen, including putting more robust training and support in place. The original pilot group (SLT / Cabinet / OSM) would retain their devices 3. SLT agreed in principle that the service should now move to a wider operational phase 2. A report (see attached file) was discussed with the Strategic Leadership team on the 12 th June Summary of Pilot Findings Devices are easy to use once users are familiarised There is less paper to carry The devices enable mobile working There is better access to information in meetings Lots of potential but needs to be enabled for personalised working Reliance on Wi Fi alone was difficult, prefer 3G Some users have been able to reduce / stop using Blackberries by using their own phone (not all users would want to do this) Need a consistent approach to preparing, organising and distributing documents Users would like more support on how to get the most out of the devices, particularly navigating documents and making notes Haven't got the best out of Alfresco document repository Not everyone is willing to use tablets Some users have reduced their use of a PC, but don't see tablets as a replacement The conclusion of the discussion was: 1. 7 Overview and Scrutiny Management Committee Briefing Note Update on Paperless Meeting Pilot July 2012 The Paperless Meetings pilot has now concluded.
