Eduserv’s Executive Briefing Programme research found that cloud strategy within local authorities is still developing, for example with only 39% saying they have a cloud IT policy in place.
Today many local authorities are considering public cloud for its flexibility and broad service offering.
However, there are misconceptions about public cloud’s suitability for local government, for example around data security, and questions around the best way to approach cloud adoption. Given these issues, Eduserv is hosting an interactive webinar to:
Explore the misconceptions about public cloud’s suitability for local government
Provide a real-world example from Aylesbury Vale DC’s experiences of migrating to Amazon Web Services
Examine the future for public cloud use within local government.
Speakers include Maryvonne Hassall, IT strategy manager at Aylesbury Vale DC and Mark Ebden, technical consultant at Eduserv.
Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and be part of the debate. We hope that you can participate in this important discussion.
