Virtual Board meetings can solve many of the problems your Board encounters. With new technology, your team members no longer have to be in the same room to have important discussions.

The G-Cloud is a framework set up by the Government to streamline the procurement process for cloud-based products and services for the public sector.

The system eliminates the need to run a full tender or competition procurement process. G-Cloud stores the products on the Digital Marketplace: an online store for all the digital services covered by the G-Cloud framework.

If you are a public sector organisation and want to invest in cloud services, G-Cloud is the first place to look. The system is designed to support smooth digital integration for everyone from regional bodies to central government. There are many advantages, but here are five of the most significant:

1. Choice
2. Flexibility
3. Budget
4. Security
5. Accessibility

Choice
One obvious benefit of G-Cloud’s procurement services is the level of choice. Altogether, the framework offers around 25,000 products. Whether you’re looking for cloud hosting, cloud software or cloud support, G-Cloud should have a product to suit your needs.

The range of options on G-Cloud is also a significant advantage when it comes to creating a dynamic marketplace. As there are approximately 3,500 individual suppliers, innovation is encouraged through competition. This means you can make sure you get the right product at the right price.
