Public sector organisations across the globe have found themselves Unconsciously Hybrid as public cloud-first government mandates led to an unplanned state of flux between operating models.

This has resulted in concerns around data protection and sovereignty, clear coordination and policy, unpredictable costs, and achieving stable infrastructure for modernised service delivery.

The new, more strategic approach to gain control over the IT estate and optimise the cloud environment is to adopt a Consciously Hybrid model. To explore further, we interviewed some of South Africa’s leading CIOs and technologists to explore the viability of a cloud-first approach, its opportunities and its possible challenges. You can view the full docu-series here.

To build on the conversation, join Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) South Africa at this exclusive event for public sector decision makers, for a frank discussion on the cloud challenges local public sector organisations face. You will discover how to adopt a Consciously Hybrid cloud model, and how HPE is positioned to help.

Cloud experts and a panel of local thought leaders and customers will discuss how public sector organisations should weigh up the risks of unanticipated expenses against the reduced upfront costs of pay-as-you-go models; and how to navigate the complexity of data sovereignty and compliance. They will also outline strategies for overcoming skills shortages and why it is essential to place the right workload, in the right place.

You’ll also enjoy an opportunity to engage with your public sector peers over a networking lunch at Riboville Boutique Hotel and receive the comprehensive HPE guide to hybrid strategy adoption in the public sector.
