Cloud IT is not just good; it’s common sense

Sarah Taylor, Transformation Manager at Sol-Tec

When I ran an IT team, there were only two rules. Apply common sense and always check your spelling.

Then there was #OwnIt. If you identified the task or the problem, you were empowered to deliver it or find the solution. Collaboratively ideally, but definitely empowered. Ok, that means there were three rules. Oh, and be helpful. Also don’t challenge my arithmetic. So just the five rules.

When I sat down and penned an IT strategy, a little over 3 years ago, I whole-heartedly believed we should deliver a human-centric sustainable technology environment for our local authority so people could deliver, redesign or build better services.

In recent times multi-cloud has been the buzzword emblazoned across IT headlines superseding the benefits of mere single cloud providers in every way. Improved security and reliability, vendor lock-in, superior, lower cost, end solutions, these are all notable advantages being bandied around in support of multi-cloud. But how accurate is this view really?

Public Sector organisations from Central Government to Local Councils are experiencing the need to embrace Digital Transformation. Integral to this, is the necessity to create a solid foundation on which services can be implemented, making the establishment of a Cloud platform, a fundamental part of any Digital Transformation activity.
