Local councils use cloud-based systems to manage and share data across services like social care, housing, and education, allowing for better coordination between departments.

Cloud solutions also support the secure storage of sensitive information. For instance, local authorities are migrating records related to housing applications, council tax, and benefits to the cloud to improve accessibility and compliance with data protection regulations.

Additionally, cloud-based AI and data analytics are being leveraged by local governments, such as in Greater Manchester, where cloud platforms help analyse public health data to identify trends and improve services.

Cloud technology also supports local councils in managing smart city initiatives, providing scalable infrastructure to handle IoT devices, traffic management systems, and environmental monitoring.

The network is crucial for local government, enabling secure communication, data transfer, and efficient service delivery to the community.

For example, local councils rely on secure networks to manage data across departments such as social care, housing, and education, ensuring that information is accessible in real-time.

Similarly, emergency services and public health departments need reliable networks to share critical data for response coordination and resource management. Without a robust network configured for maximum uptime and failover, these essential services cannot operate effectively.

Security is essential for local government to protect sensitive data, maintain public trust, and ensure the integrity of critical services. Local authorities manage vast amounts of personal, financial, and health-related information, making them potential targets for cyberattacks.

For example, a local council might handle personal data related to housing, benefits, and social care. A breach could lead to identity theft, financial fraud, or a loss of public trust.

By prioritising cybersecurity measures such as data encryption, firewalling and web application security, local governments can protect citizen data, ensure compliance with regulations, and maintain public confidence in their ability to manage sensitive information securely.
