Digital Pioneers

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, those championing digital transformation for their organisation were leading the charge, moving away from clunky legacy systems to innovative, cloud based solutions. The impact of the pandemic has been felt across almost all sectors, but very few have been hit as hard as central and local government, with many organisations forced to deliver critical services remotely with little pre- warning.

High profile government policies have also been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, including Cloud First and the PSN Closedown. These were already complicated and nuanced issues. As the dust begins to settle, the pandemic’s legacy is likely to impact the implementation of these policies over the coming years.

Cloud Gateway and Vysiion conducted two surveys, a year apart, which asked IT leaders about their digital transformation challenges and strategies. The findings from the surveys examine the broad theme of cloud transformation in the public sector, paying particular attention to the challenges and opportunities facing central and local government organisations in 2021 and beyond. Results from both surveys have been contrasted to identify common themes and trends across the sector, including ways in which the last 12 months have impacted attitudes towards digital transformation and cloud migration. The results provide commentary and analysis on some of the most pressing issues raised by the pandemic by those on the front line.

In this ebook, learn more about the challenges and opportunities around digital and cloud transformation, including both central and regional real-life case studies from those making moves in this area. Gain insight into how you can apply the Cloud First policy and PSN Closedown successfully, and ultimately how you can create a foundation for transformation to become a Digital Pioneer in your organisation.
