The One Government Cloud Strategy (OGCS) is a collaborative initiative led by the DDaT and Commercial Functions of Government. It exists to support public sector organisations to build a better cloud strategy and to better support cross-functional collaboration and a joined up approach to cloud adoption. It aims to support the government by providing an effective way to gain benefits from using the cloud and other hosting solutions.
The goals of the OGCS are:
- Enabling the UK to become a world leader in the provision of Cloud based government services for citizens.
- Fostering a multi-faceted approach to drive change across our technology, commercial, security, finance and operating model capabilities.
- Delivering economies of scale, enable efficiencies of re-use, increase security and managing potential ‘lock-in.
At this event the Chair of the cross-Government OGCS Working Group will brief the supplier community on the strategy, including: the background and rationale of the OGCS; the genesis and methodology of the review that led to it; the key components of the strategy; and the future directions for cloud in public service delivery. The Commercial Director and Chief Procurement Officer Technology of the Crown Commercial Service will also provide an overview of their role in supprtoing the OGCS. The briefing will be followed by a Q&A session.
This event is a must for incumbent and aspiring Cloud Service Providers and tech suppliers to the public sector, and it is particuarly relevant to SMEs supplying tech to Government. So if you’re in the cloud services business, come along!
