G-Cloud Will be Undermined by Public Sector IT Buyers, According to New Report
Public sector IT buyers do not want use of the proposed government G-Cloud to be mandatory, according to a new report. K2 Advisory’s report “Cloud Computing – A Step-Change for IT Services,” which analyses the developing market for cloud services, reveals scepticism from public sector IT buyers.

Cloud Computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices on-demand, like a public utility. G-Cloud is the UK government cloud computing project. The report’s author, Dr Katy Ring, Director of K2 Advisory, says, “Many public sector IT buyers think G-Cloud should be offered as an opt-in sourcing method, not a mandatory one, and are sceptical on both the savings and the carbon reduction claims.”
