Cloud Infrastructure Service Providers in Europe (CISPE) would like to invite you to the event in Brussels on 3 July starting at 10 am at the Thon Hotel EU, Rue de la Loi 75 (Brussels), to discuss ‘How to transform governments through a smart cloud policy’.

Event is taking place following the recent publication of the new European Commission Cloud Strategy guiding how the European Institutions and Agencies will modernize their IT Infrastructure through a cloud-first approach.

We would welcome the opportunity to have you as a participant. This is an opportunity for you to exchange views and share your vision for the future of government cloud usage with the speakers and Cloud stakeholders around Europe.

CISPE will also present the procurement Handbook ‘Buying Cloud Services in Public Sector’ during the event which provides guidance on how to purchase Cloud Services through a competitive procurement process for customers that do not yet have the expertise to draft a Cloud Framework Agreement.

We would be grateful if you could kindly RSVP by 28 June by emailing at info@europa-insights.com.
