PUBLIC SECTOR CLOUD SERVICES

Cloud technology is accelerating digital transformation in the public sector.

The public sector has traditionally lagged behind the private sector on the path to digital transformation, due in part to budgetary concerns, red tape and limited resources. But public sector cloud solutions are fueling acceleration on the path to digitalization while simplifying data privacy, system security, business continuity and compliance.

Speak With a Public Sector Cloud Expert

The right cloud solution can better serve citizens while freeing up limited public-sector resources.

Cloud solutions are helping the public sector accelerate their digital transformation efforts, so they can better serve citizens, free up limited resources and reduce backlogs, ultimately making them more efficient — which is good for employees, suppliers, partners and citizens alike. The cloud holds huge potential in this space — such as smart, connected cities, healthier data management with more robust and flexible integrations, better data protection and redundancy — all while helping to simplify cloud security, privacy and compliance.

But federal, provincial and local governments — as well as public-sector agencies — often struggle to balance legacy operations and cost-cutting measures against growing populations, rising cybersecurity threats and public demand for better services. They handle an ever-increasing volume of sensitive data, often across siloed departments and agencies, and they’re a frequent target of ransomware and cyberattacks.

End-to-End Support for Public Services


Ensuring security and privacy for both citizens and government institutions is paramount. At the same time, a hybrid-cloud approach is often necessary to meet the challenges of accessing and storing data beyond Canadian borders (where part of the data needs to be stored on-premise due to governance and security regulations).

From Azure, AWS and Google Cloud to our own private cloud solutions based on VMware, we work in collaboration with a wide range of public-sector organizations to design, build, migrate and optimize cloud solutions. We can tailor the right public, private or hybrid cloud solution for your digital transformation journey, at a pace that works for you — and in alignment with compliance and security best practices.

As a leading cloud service provider, not only do we provide a technical solution, but we also create a cloud strategy including programs to steadily build your know-how and develop a Cloud Centre of Excellence so you can continually evolve your digital transformation efforts.
