Reviewing

"Knowledge Empowers"

 

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) now touches most organisations, helping help them to drive up business value. Across the European Union, the sector employs about 6% of the workforce and makes about 8% of EU GDP. The sector continues to drive about half of EU productivity gains in the private sector. The EU has therefore much to gain in maintaining and developing this sector.

 

The European Commission's ICT Task Force recommends policies that seek to improve the ICT sector’s competitiveness and remove obstacles to greater ICT uptake. These include ensuring that legislation supports all organisations to help them increase productivity and integration, and provide networking via ICT.

 

Unique Information Service

 

ERA's unique Information Service provides the UK's only comprehensive online audit of ICT legal and regulatory measures, including proposals and consultations. This helps organisations to identify quickly issues  that could have a negative impact upon the business and to do something about it at the earliest opportunity.

 

For simplicity, the audit is divided into 2 categories;

 

Pipes - Regulating ICT systems and networks

 

Water - Regulating what flows through them

 

We have also provided you with a

 

Legal Index - to help you navigate the site more easily.

 

Consultancy Services

 

With access to an impressive network of political, legal and business experts, ERA also provides consultancy and training services that are tailored to individual corporate requirements. These include risk analysis and compliance management, stakeholder and contract management, lobbying, and reputation management.

 

We have a friendly, professional approach that focuses on unlocking value across your organisation, improving competitiveness, and enhancing corporate reputation.
