Slough, UK, June 4th 2014: International IT solutions provider, Logicalis has been appointed as an approved supplier by HM Government for the latest iteration of its G-Cloud initiative. Logicalis has been selected in both the Specialist Cloud Services and Infrastructure-as-a-Service categories entered, under the new G-Cloud V Framework Agreement, allowing these services to be available for procurement by government departments, local authorities and the wider public sector. The services will be available via the government procurement portal CloudStore.
Mike Wrout, Sales Director Local and Central Government, at Logicalis UK, said, “We have a longstanding partnership with the UK public sector in delivering innovative cloud and as-a-service solutions, including the UK’s first hybrid cloud implementation, and are delighted to continue our involvement with the G-Cloud framework. We look forward to contributing further to the initiative, encouraging the adoption of cloud to help bring further innovation to the sector and ultimately, enable efficient services to citizens.”
The UK Government’s G-Cloud initiative aims to help public sector organisations become more responsive to ever changing needs.
