Building on best practices from all the cloud ecosystem
Developed by CISPE (Cloud Infrastructure Services Providers in Europe) with the support of Cloud Industry Forum, Danish Cloud Community, DHPA, eco / EuroCloud Germany, EuroCloud France and ISPConnect, the handbook shares the experience of partners, organisations and members in the framing of public procurement in the cloud market. Together, the coalition represents thousands of companies comprising Europe’s cloud ecosystem. The handbook, launched in the presence of the European Commission during the Brussels event “How to Transform Governments Through a Smart Cloud Policy”, will be translated into multiple European languages and launched in the various EU Member States in September and October 2019.
Facilitate the move to the cloud
The handbook is meant to facilitate the digital transformation of governments and the public sector by providing best practice guidance for Europe’s public procurers of cloud services. When more government and public agencies adopt forward-looking cloud-first public procurement policy requiring that cloud is used as default unless it is justified (“if not cloud, why not?”), these public procurers can ground their decisions on the effective guidance that the handbook provides and ensure the best decisions are being made for the right reasons.
