UKCloud Launches New Partner Programme
November 2016 by Marc Jacob
UKCloud has announced the launch of its NEW partner programme. It will offer both new and
existing partners an impressive benefits framework including significant technical,
marketing and sales expertise, giving UKCloud partners the best possible chance of
selling successfully into the UK public sector.
The newly launched partner programme will build on the momentum already achieved by
UKCloud’s existing partner programme, which was launched in August 2013. UKCloud
has since helped approximately 120 partners onto the G-Cloud Framework and the
company has supported more than 465 partner projects across the UK public sector.
IT companies looking to break into the UK public sector market need to be familiar
with and overcome very specific requirements when it comes to security, assurance,
connectivity and commercial governance. UKCloud’s partners are able to take
advantage of its industry-leading accreditations and certifications, without needing
to dedicate resources to achieving this themselves. They also benefit from
UKCloud’s extensive experience in the public sector, through its work with DVLA,
HMRC, the Home Office and MoD to name but a few.
UKCloud’s hyperscale cloud platform is built to handle government workloads and
offers connectivity options to meet different communities’ needs, including PSN,
N3 for health and RLI for defence. UKCloud recently announced an expanded range of
assured cloud services, including OpenStack and Oracle powered offerings on the
latest iteration of the G-Cloud Framework, G-Cloud 8. The new features and service
options provide genuine choice to meet the different requirements of contrasting
public sector workloads, which provides UKCloud partners with access to a purpose
build cloud for the UK Public Sector, allowing them to focus on delivering
innovative products and services to the UK citizen.
