From Challenge to Opportunity: How the Public Sector Can Monetise Its Tech

At Ghyston, we know that the public sector is under immense pressure to modernise services, do more with less, and still deliver meaningful outcomes for communities. But what if some of the biggest tech frustrations – like legacy systems, manual processes and tight budgets – could actually become your biggest opportunities?

In our latest webinar we unpack exactly how to turn persistent technology problems into revenue-generating assets.

Key themes covered:

  • Why underused systems and siloed data can be reframed as untapped value

    How bespoke software can drive operational efficiency and income generation

    Real-world examples from Unite Students, Sanctuary Care, and Hampshire County Council

    A step-by-step guide to identifying dormant assets and monetisation potential

The Hampshire Story

A standout moment in the session is our work with Hampshire County Council. Faced with new legislative demands from the Procurement Act and no off-the-shelf solutions that fit, we built a bespoke platform from the ground up. The result? A compliant, scalable tool – now being explored as a repeatable SaaS product for other councils.

As Annette shares:
"This wasn’t just a tech solution to a legal requirement – it became a dual-market revenue opportunity."

Practical Steps to Get Started

We also shares how public sector organisations can start small by:

  • Auditing existing technology and processes
  • Assessing data quality and interoperability
  • Building internal capability alongside trusted partners

If you're exploring how to extract more value from your tech stack or deliver better outcomes for your organisation, this is a must-watch.

Dealing With AI Sceptics In Your Team

At Ghyston, we've been taking a deep dive into lots of our clients' teams, assessing how they're using AI in their software engineering. And what we're finding across the board is that there's quite a gap - between the people leaning into AI software development the most, and those who are really quite sceptical of it, or fearful of it. What's interesting is how to handle that gap, and how to help bring a team together around it.

How To Know When It's Time To Replace Your Legacy Software

Most software doesn't fail dramatically. There's no single moment when the system crashes and everyone agrees it's time to act. Instead, legacy systems tend to degrade slowly, and the people closest to them often adapt so naturally to the workarounds that the underlying problem becomes invisible. As a technical leader, you probably already sense when something is past its best. But sensing it and being able to make the case for replacement are different things. Here are the signs worth paying attention to.
