All of our training courses can be tailored specifically for your team or organisation and presented at your offices, at another suitable location or virtually.
Overview
Cloud offers the public sector a great way to reduce costs, update their solutions (and keep them updated – no more painful upgrades) and provide more efficient, faster services.
And with the Government’s Cloud First policy to consider, it’s essential that every public sector organisation has a great plan in place to assess their cloud needs and maturity when developing or procuring new IT solutions.
That’s why Building an Effective Cloud Strategy is the best way to prepare your organisation for the cloud. Improve your understanding of the different types of cloud products, and which platform is right for your needs.
Gain a practical toolset for implementing and managing a cloud strategy, including how to handle migration, avoid common mistakes and ensure data security and compliance.
Whether you’re new to the Cloud or just looking to expand your expertise, leave the day equipped with a plan to unlock the potential of cloud computing and drive efficiency and innovation in your organisation.
