Fifty-nine per cent of public sector organisations consider security to be among their top three priorities, according to a survey by Citrix Systems.

Green IT is also high on the agenda, but while 31 per cent of respondents say they are set to implement a green computing policy and 36 per cent say they already have one, only five per cent listed being carbon neutral in their top three issues.

More than half (51 per cent) of respondents cited virtualisation as a priority, but shared services were listed by only one in 10.

No respondents mentioned e-payments among their priorities.
