The Public Sector Environment
ESL are unique in their approach to providing systems that are specifically designed to handle the governance and evidence management requirements of the public sector. ESL recognize the public sector as being characterized by:

• The growing use of Audit and Inspection frameworks in the sector
• It is not enough to claim you do well by your pupils, patients, or customers; you must be able to prove it
• Your evidence must be systematically documented and accessible to formal inspection
• Your reputation and future can depend on this

With GEMS you can easily manage documentation shaped to a structure that mirrors the inspection framework and you can clearly show how you have met the requirements of the the relevant inspection regime. Plus you can significantly control and reduce the associated administrative burden and cost.

The Implications for Public Sector Organizations

• Increased bureaucracy
• The challenge of effectively organizing, managing, maintaining and presenting your evidence
• Increasing administrative workload and costs
• Constantly moving goal posts

ESL’s Unique Approach

• GEMS software applications are unique and specialized and don’t require you to change your  existing information systems, network storage and security arrangements
• GEMS applications are designed to allow users to collate, manage and present documentation and evidence against any governance or self-evaluation inspection framework
• GEMS Include interchangeable templates that mirror a wide range of inspection frameworks
• GEMS use only a simple point and click to present a web-browsable view of your documents and evidence

The Benefits of The Approach

• Cost effectiveness
• No need to change your IT systems or way of storing information
• Ease of managing the bureaucracy
• Avoids the cost of lost documents; average cost to re-create is £174
• A clear overall picture of governance and performance
• Constant readiness
