Public Sector Cloud 2023

For many public sector organisations, resourcing, knowledge and skills can be a major obstacle when it comes to transitioning to the cloud.

So what should you do when your existing hosting environment is shutting down or is no longer fit for purpose, or your applications need to be migrated to the cloud?

Hear about the Scottish Government’s Cloud platform service and how it can help your organisation to alleviate resourcing pressures, access skills and experience, migrate to a better space, and benefit from enhanced security.

Modernising Your Legacy Databases into the Public Cloud

Many organisations have difficulty quickly assessing their legacy technology platforms for modernisation. They feel locked into vendors, are burdened by technical and commercial debt, and find it challenging to fully understand their modernisation potential.

Working with AWS, we have developed a fully funded Partner Programme to help your organisation plot a pathway to a clear and viable Public Cloud Migration Strategy.

In this session, Cintra will set out the assessment program, what it means for you, and the benefits to be expected by its results.
