IT VISIBILITY for UK PUBLIC SECTOR

Nearly 50% of UK Government IT Spend Goes into Standing Still

Between IT sprawl, spreadsheets, and shrinking budgets, most public sector bodies, whether a central department, a council, or an NHS trust, can't say with confidence what they're running, what it costs, or what they could retire tomorrow. Ardoq gives you that answer, before the next audit or spending review submission asks for it.

Is A Static Spreadsheet Enough to Defend Your Spend?

Spend controls don't wait for your data to catch up.

Get a live view of every application, cost, and dependency across your department or arm's-length body
Walk confidently into a digital spend-control review with a defensible overview, not an outdated spreadsheet
Surface duplicated spend across directorates before the next spending review forces the question
Build the audit trail that will hold up to NAO and PAC scrutiny

You can't cut what you can't see.

Replace your spreadsheet-and-shared-drive setup with one live application inventory
Give your Section 151 Officer a data-backed case for what to retire, not an educated guess
Surface duplicated systems across services before the next budget round finds them for you
Build the shared visibility that makes combined authority and shared services conversations possible

It’s Not a Lack of Will to Modernize,
It’s a Lack of Visibility Into What It’s Already Running.

Ardoq is listed on the G-Cloud framework (currently G-Cloud 14) via Crown Commercial Service. As the framework is already competitively established, public sector organizations can place a call-off and typically begin implementation within weeks, rather than running a full competitive tender.

Pricing is usage-based rather than a flat enterprise license, so cost scales with what you actually need rather than requiring a large upfront commitment.

See our pricing plans.

Departments and Trusts we have worked with start seeing value within weeks, not quarters.

Application Rationalization is typically the fastest starting point: once your core application data is in Ardoq, surfacing redundant spend and building a defensible case for what to retire can happen inside the first few weeks of use.

No. As Ardoq is SaaS, there's no infrastructure to stand up. The real effort is getting application owners to contribute data, and Ardoq's Surveys are built to make that low-friction for people who aren't architects.

A CMDB tells you what exists. It doesn't connect that to cost, ownership, or business value, and it doesn't stay current without manual upkeep. Ardoq integrates with tools like ServiceNow to pull that data in, then maps it to the capabilities, regulations, and cost decisions it actually needs to inform.

See our full suite of integrations.

Spreadsheets are static, and they depend on individuals to remember why a given system is still running. Ardoq replaces that with a live model that updates as owners contribute, so the picture doesn't go stale between reviews.

Yes. Ardoq meets enterprise-level security requirements and supports secure, role-based data sharing, so departments and Trusts retain control over their own data while still contributing to a consistent portfolio view where needed.

Yes, Ardoq's data model can flexibly capture exactly what those submissions require: application inventory, cost, and lifecycle status, so compliance evidence is a natural output of the architecture rather than a separate reporting exercise.

Ardoq's AI outputs are traceable and auditable, not black-box. Every answer is grounded in your actual architecture data and has a clear evidence trail behind it, not just a generated summary.

Yes, and that's the point. Ardoq can give management, finance, program, and oversight teams role-appropriate views without requiring EA notation or specialist training, so the same model that your architects build serves everyone who needs to act on it.
