Cloud Without Compromise

Practical Cloud Pathways for Public Sector Organisations

Public sector organisations are under increasing pressure to modernise infrastructure, improve resilience, enable secure hybrid working, and deliver more with constrained budgets. At the same time, many IT teams are navigating ageing infrastructure, growing compliance requirements, VMware uncertainty, and the challenge of balancing innovation with operational stability.

This webinar, delivered by SoftwareOne in partnership with Microsoft, explores practical and proven pathways to cloud adoption for organisations at every stage of their journey. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we’ll walk through three realistic cloud strategies designed specifically for public sector environments - helping you understand how to modernise safely, affordably, and at your own pace.

Whether you're considering a full Azure migration, evaluating alternatives for your VMware estate, or looking to gain cloud benefits while remaining on-premise, this session will provide actionable guidance, technical insight, and practical next steps from experts working across UK public sector organisations today.

We'll Cover

The current public sector cloud landscape and the “Cloud First” mandate
Common barriers to cloud adoption and how organisations are overcoming them
Three practical cloud journeys:
- Azure Lift & Shift migration
- VMware to Azure VMware Solution (AVS)
- Azure Arc-enabled hybrid environments
Key considerations around security, governance, compliance, and cost control
Real-world public sector use cases and migration scenarios
How to assess which cloud pathway is right for your organisation
Available Microsoft funding and support programmemes
