Cloud First Survey Report: Prize Draw Winners Announced and Full Report Available for Download

Following the success of the WiredGov Public Sector Cloud First Survey back in July, the full analysis of the survey report findings have been published.

The Cloud First Surveywas designed to understand some of the biggest inhibitors to digital transformation for the public sector, from tackling legacy debt through to the realities of transitioning to the cloud.

For many public sector organisations, the survey results revealed that the top five business priorities are security, cost saving, resiliance, availabilty, and carbon reduction, which will come as no surprise.
