Capita plc, in conjunction with the SWAN Innovation Forum, today announces it is proposing to roll out Internet of Things (IoT) capability across the Scottish Wide Area Network (SWAN).

We transform environments to fuel organisational growth, cutting costs, minimising your environmental impact and enabling secure, smarter working.

IoT ecosystems are underpinning more and more services across the UK. Before we look at cyber security in an IoT context, it’s worth recounting how we arrived in a connected world.

The UK is set to spend over £9bn this year on PFI contracts – and a total of £48bn in the next five years. This level of spending will continue until we see the first peak in contracts expiring around 2030. Expiry will see assets worth £14bn (their original capital value) transferring back to public ownership.
