Start your council’s Azure journey by hearing from one of your peers

For local and regional governments, taking on a large digital transformation journey to the cloud is no easy task. There are questions around cloud efficiency and cost-cutting on IT as well as uncertainty from the wider team, which are just some of the challenges that a council could face.

But for Bath and North East Somerset Council who wanted to become more efficient and reliable with their IT operations, Cloud Direct is on hand to help them overcome these challenges as they embark on a cloud migration journey to Microsoft Azure.

We hosted a webinar with Liam Abbott, Head of IT at Bath and North East Somerset Council. Hear from Liam as they share the story of their Azure migration journey, the challenges they faced along the way and share how you too can overcome these challenges.

You’ll also learn about the key considerations as part of an Azure migration journey, from Culture, Costing, Upskilling, Building your Roadmap and more.

Start making better-informed Microsoft Licencing decisions for your Non-Profit

What licenses are available for Non-Profit organisations? How do we know what we can get, or even what we need? How can I make sure I’m getting the most value from my licenses?

By watching, you’ll learn about the types of Microsoft Licencing available, understand what they mean to you as a Non-Profit and start making more informed decisions about your licencing options.
