Joan Miller
Director Parliamentary ICT, Houses of Parliament

Presentation: Enterprise Architecture and The Houses of Parliament

Parliament is a traditional and complex organisation made up of a number of operating units. In January 2006 PICT was created as a House of Commons House of Lords jointly owned service to centralise the ICT support in both Houses of Parliament. The aim of the centralisation was to design and develop an integrated ICT solution to provide effective and economical services to both Houses. Parliamentary ICT (PICT) aims to redesign its IT provision (business processes, data, applications and technology) to support this new environment and will be guided by enterprise architecture to equip us with a new vision for the future.

Joan Miller joined the Houses of Parliament in Sept 2005 to establish a new ICT organisation to support both Houses of Parliament in Westminster and constituency offices across the country. She has a background in local government, leading the modernisation agenda in Essex and Suffolk County Councils to improve customer services through designing more efficient business processes and implementing new electronic systems. In 2003 she joined Lambeth Council and established the prize-winning EGovernment and IT Services team which implemented a council wide programme that created a new contact centre dealing with over 1 million calls p.a., a new faceto- face service, relaunched the website to provide transactional services to citizens and joined up electronic information and records across the council. Joan has been a member of national social services and health programmes and led the ODPM's national E-Government Capacity Building project which developed a simple guide and toolkits for programme, project and change management.
