Migrating to Shared Service Cloud Computing – Webinar
Canadian Federal Government recently announced plans to create a single IT department ‘Shared Services’ that will save $100-200m a year through consolidation-driven efficiencies.
Our webinar will:
- Introduce ‘Enterprise Cloud Computing’
- Explain how it is applied in Government
- Specifically how it can be utilized to achieve these Shared Service goals

I’m intrigued with this concept. Makes a lot of sense but at same time it’s always really hard to centralize and get everyone’s buy-in.
What’s your take?
I think it’s a very easy win. There’s no doubt there’s a huge amount of fatty duplications, excess infrastructure etc., that a consolidation exercise will tackle and yield big cost savings and increased efficiencies.
At a time that Cloud is also maturing too, there’s big low hanging fruit that can be achieved.
IBM Center for the Business of Government just had a good blog series on shared services which should be useful to Canada and other governments considering shared services. Link below:
