G-Cloud and G-AS utility computing

Please find attached the latest joint briefing from Socitm which is aimed at public sector organisations that need to make dramatic savings.

Cloud computing has been touted as the model for the future for some time. The recent launch of the government's new ICT strategy sees Cloud (or 'utility') computing finally become a practical and indeed essential approach for public sector organisations.

 

The attached briefing outlines the G-Cloud and G-AS technologies on which the government expects the public sector to base its computing from now on, and from which it expects savings totalling nearly £4 billion per annum. What are these facilities, and how and when will they become available?

 

Cloud computing is a key element in the Council of the Future model. By doing away with the bulk of local ICT infrastructure and support, promoting lower-cost and standardised solutions, enhancing security and connectivity, and increasing sustainability, Cloud computing will enable local authorities to save money and improve customer service. Your organisation's strategies need to be updated now to exploit the opportunities it presents.
