Empowering
and Accelerating Public Sector Digital Innovation
Cloud computing has revolutionized the way organizations manage their data and information technology infrastructure.
Governments around the world are increasingly turning to cloud services to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, improve security and speed agile delivery of new digital capabilities.
The Cloud offers a platform for accelerating Digital Government innovation, a way to break down silos, minimize redundant low-value activities, and enhance citizen services.

Applications and Low Code
From Microsoft Teams 365 to business process applications, the Cloud offers a suite of 'SaaS' solutions for government. These can be rapidly customized through 'Low Code' tools. For example developing a Covid app.

Migration and Modernization
A key challenge for the public sector is their vast estate of older applications, even mainframes. These can modernized and migrated to the Cloud to transform them for the modern digital era, such as Modernizing the USA Government Legacy Infrastructure.
