I was proud to represent EMC at the UK Government ICT conference in London today. It was certainly a well attended event and I had many good conversations with fellow delegates around the challenges they face with issues like Workforce Mobility, Cloud Services, Strategy Development, ICT procurement and so on.
It is clear to me that the IT community within Public Sector are proactively exploring new ways to deliver services in their organisations. Of course, cost avoidance was probably the number one driving force - but closely followed by a desire to do things quicker and better.
Skyscape Cloud Services also featured quite prominently today. Skyscape are a start-up I have closely been involved with as EMC are central to their Skyscape Cloud Alliance - providing our full suite of technology, consultancy and managed services. Many of the delegates I spoke with seemed genuinely excited by Skyscape's proposition and ambition, which gives credence to the idea behind the G-Cloud Framework.
