IT strategy re-think: heading into the cloud

Moving to cloud computing is central to delivering better public services more cheaply. Only IT-enabled automation and increased efficiency can keep public services affordable, and only a move to the cloud can make investment in public sector IT justifiable and affordable.

The latest Socitm briefing (attached) outlines some of the main issues around moving to a cloud computing model, including:

    • Key benefits of moving to the cloud
    • What the real security challenges are, and how to handle them
    • Understanding the supplier perspective
    • The impact of PSN and AGS
    • Practical steps towards developing a cloud strategy
