Public Sector in the Cloud

 

With the promise of lower costs, increased efficiencies, and new ways to meet organisational priorities, there is a lot of excitement about cloud computing. This is particularly true for government organisations that see ways to leverage the cloud to reduce costs, improve transparency, advance collaboration, better focus on critical needs, and increase citizen services.

 

Microsoft is the clear leader in cloud computing with software, services, and tools that are familiar to people around the world. Cloud computing should not be an all-or-nothing decision, but rather, another set of tools to accomplish your goals and meet the requirements of your organisation. This is why Microsoft provides offerings to support public and on-premises solutions - you can decide which capabilities belong in your environment and which belong outside, to complement, extend, or replace your existing ICT assets.
