UKCLOUD SURVEY REVEALS
WHY PUBLIC SECTOR
ORGANISATIONS ARE
TURNING TO MULTI-CLOUD
The following survey shows the results of 300+ senior public
sector IT professionals and business leaders, revealing the
challenges around cloud adoption.
U
KCloud, the multi-cloud experts
dedicated to making transformation
happen across the UK public sector,
has announced the results of a survey of
more than 300 senior IT professionals
and business leaders that reveals the key
challenges and issues that are affecting
cloud adoption.
The UK government adopted a cloud first
policy in 2013 which signalled a significant
shift from traditional IT solutions to
more agile, scalable and cost-effective
cloud solutions that enable the broader
Digital Transformation agenda. But while
there has been some successful use of
cloud, the majority of public sector IT
has not yet made the shift. Last year,
Crown Commercial Service (CCS) and
www.intelligentcio.com
the Government Digital Service (GDS)
commenced a review of the cloud first
policy, while organisations such as NHSX
and Defence Digital were formed to address
specific challenges of harnessing innovative
technologies to drive better public services.
“We have been monitoring the adoption of
cloud-based services across the UK for the
past 10 years. We have seen unprecedented
change take place in that time, with many
companies now realising the potential
of cloud services helping them fulfil their
Digital Transformation goals. These journeys
may have started a long time ago, but
they are far from over: rapidly evolving
business challenges mean that diversity and
collaboration are necessary to move forward.
A cloud-led strategy must be at the heart of
“
WHILE THERE
HAS BEEN SOME
SUCCESSFUL USE
OF CLOUD, THE
MAJORITY OF
PUBLIC SECTOR
IT HAS NOT YET
MADE THE SHIFT.
