One of Nicola Sturgeon's first tasks as Infrastructure Secretary will be the unveiling of the latest digital public services strategy this month, followed by the ICT "operating framework" in October.
The distinction between these two is not yet clear, but the IT industry hopes they will not be simply further restatements of aspirations.
Sturgeon must also fathom the byzantine structure of Scottish Government responsibilities in this area, and how all these interact. By Agenda's reckoning, her team comprises Graeme Dickson, director general, enterprise environment and digital; Paul Gray, chair of the national ICT board; Mike Neilson, digital director; head of digital strategy and programmes, Colin Cook (plus 12 underlings); and digital public services division director, Dr Jane Morgan (11 underlings).
This seems a lot of layers for a country with the population of greater Manchester. Agenda suspects constitutional demands will mean the promised "shared services" blueprint will not appear on schedule.
Indy ref talk has had one positive side-effect: forcing George Osborne to dig up some near-forgotten titans of Scottish business, who would otherwise have rested in relative obscurity, to parade them as personal heroes at last week's CBI dinner.
It was good to be reminded of Thomas Blake Glover (1838-1911), David Dunbar Buick (1854-1929) and Sir William Mackinnon (1823-1893), who respectively conquered the world with shipbuilding, mining and guns in Japan, cars in the US and shipping lines in the Indian ocean.
The Chancellor's point is that the great business heritage of the Empire, now UK, is heavily, disproportionately Scottish. True enough, but not necessarily relevant to today's Yes/ No debate.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
