Dear Madam,

Please find below the response to your request under the terms of the
Freedom of Information Act.

 

•Please can you direct me to the authority's current ICT strategy?

South Northamptonshire Council’s last IT Strategy has ended after
completion of a major IT Transformation programme in April 2019. A new IT
strategy is in development for 2020.

 

•Does the authority use or is planning to use Azure or any other cloud
hosted services?

The authority has Azure in place as its virtual datacentre used for DR &
and Backup services. New services will be evaluated if they are suitable
for an Azure deployment going forward.

 

•If you are currently using, or planning to use Azure, AWS or Google; what
are your main drivers and goals?

Main drivers are to reduce cost ,complexity while increase resilience and
reliability by adopting a cloud first model
