Dispelling public cloud myths with Aylesbury Vale District Council
Channel: EduservChannel
Date: 19/07/2017

Our Executive Briefing Programme research found that cloud strategy within local authorities is still developing – for example with only 39% saying they have a cloud IT policy in place (see the EBP ‘Up in the air’ report released in November). 

Today many local authorities are considering public cloud for its flexibility and broad service offering. However, there are misconceptions about public cloud’s suitability for local government - for example around data security - and questions around the best way to approach cloud adoption. 

Given these issues this video will: 
- Explore the misconceptions about public cloud’s suitability for local government 
- Provide a real-world example from Aylesbury Vale District Council’s experiences of migrating to AWS 
- Examine the future for public cloud use within local government.
