20. Cloud adoption in the UK

21. Agenda
• Cloud adoption in general
• Cloud adoption in education sector
• Advantages and challenges

22. Cloud Initiatives
• G-cloud/Cloud First framework by the UK Government since 2013
• High awareness but low adoption – 30% in NHS and 60% in central
government departments – schools are included in this framework
• Public sector is encouraged to follow the same policy
• Legacy Systems, Security, Compliance, vendor lock in are causing delays
• Policy currently under review to include hybrid cloud
• A strategic tool rather than just cost saving or efficiency
