In an era where digital transformation is paramount but the constraint of doing more with less is ever increasing, many local authorities are finding themselves tethered to on-premises solutions that hinder their ability to innovate. This webinar will delve into the critical need for public sector organisations to shift to cloud-based systems, highlighting the barriers of resources, personnel, and financial constraints that often stall this transition.

Join us as we explore practical strategies for optimising current IT spend, allowing local authorities to reallocate resources toward transformation initiatives. We will showcase how leveraging cloud technologies can not only reduce costs but also enhance operational efficiency and citizen outcomes.

Our expert panel will discuss available funding opportunities and support mechanisms designed specifically for public sector entities, ensuring that financial concerns do not hinder progress. Attendees will leave with actionable insights and a clear understanding of how to overcome obstacles on the path to modernisation.

Paul Savage:
Paul has helped deliver and manage a variety of successfully negotiated memoranda of understanding with industry giants such as Microsoft, Oracle, and ServiceNow. He is a recognised expert in UK public sector Software procurement and has a strong focus on cost optimisation for cloud technologies.

Jason Gray:
Jason is an experienced technology strategist, who prefers to begin with the business need and works back from that to identify how organisations can progress their modernisation and transformation agendas, even in the face of increasing cost pressures. His personal view is that technologists have a key role to play in unifying other functional teams together through providing education and enablement, maturing from simply being “order takers”.
