Have you ever felt that your department is stuck with legacy systems that seem impossible to modernise, or that your IT infrastructure is outdated and will take millions to repair?
If you answered ‘yes’ to the above, then you’re certainly not alone.
On top of being an ongoing challenge for many organisations, legacy systems are under the microscope right now. Issues with IT systems have featured in the news frequently in recent months, especially in light of the Crowdstrike outage.
If legacy systems aren’t given the attention they need, IT teams risk being subjected to outages or cyberattacks. Now, more than ever, there's greater scrutiny, and resilience is paramount.
With real-world case studies, we will demonstrate how Cloudhouse has taken on ‘hopeless’ cases, delivering results that cut costs, improve security, and drive digital transformation in the public sector.
Cloudhouse are already trusted by organisations across government - including the Home Office and Ministry of Justice.
But who are Cloudhouse? Cloudhouse are already trusted by organisations across government - including the Home Office and Ministry of Justice.
Founded in London in 2010 and recognised as one of the UK’s Fastest Growing Technology Companies by Deloitte, Cloudhouse serves hundreds of enterprises worldwide and has the expertise to navigate the most complex transformation challenges.
Jonathan and Stephen’s talk will focus on the transformation journey that many government organisations need to take, including how Cloudhouse’s two core solutions – Alchemy and Guardian – support government departments in different ways.
Mapping your journey can unleash IT’s potential Outdated systems often result in government teams juggling maintenance costs, system crashes, and failing processes. And then, of course, there’s compliance headaches.
Cloudhouse’s Alchemy solution offers an evergreen approach to transforming even the most outdated IT infrastructure—without costly refactoring. It all comes down to modernising IT estates by migrating ‘entrenched’ applications and moving them to a supported operating system. This removes the pain of legacy technology and brings government teams back to IT stability. It also provides a simple path to help government organisations continue on their modernisation strategy.
For example, imagine your critical application running on a legacy platform is a car navigating through the city it knows well. However, the city itself is constantly changing – with new roads, closed paths, and updated rules. Your car continues to work as it should, but it’s struggling to navigate the environment. The modern operating system is evolving, and the critical programme needs to adapt.
Just as Waze or Google Maps helps drivers avoid roadblocks and find the quickest route, Stephen and Jonanthan’s session will guide government teams through the typical transformation journey. We'll highlight the ‘congestion’ your project might encounter and the strategic diversions Cloudhouse provides to ensure a smooth path to a secure, future-ready IT estate.
In our talk, we’ll also outline how Cloudhouse ensures robust security and
compliance throughout the modernisation journey, helping government teams maintain control while revolutionising their IT estate.
Cloudhouse Alchemy gives your applications the power of Waze helping them work effectively and efficiently in a new operating environment – with no requirement for updates or refactoring. Keeping with the Waze example, Cloudhouse’s Guardian gives users full awareness of their journey and can detect issues happening – like road closures or collisions – as they happen, limiting delays. These notifications give the car the necessary insight so drivers can navigate around these challenges, and can even alert the car to its maintenance schedule.
Going back to government technology more specifically, Guardian is a versatile tool that provides comprehensive visibility into IT infrastructures, offering continuous monitoring, alerts, and integrity validation to ensure security and compliance automatically. It also continuously monitors IT environments to detect and manage configuration changes, preventing configuration drift and ensuring stability through automated change reconciliation.
As a Global Stock Exchange said, “We are continuing to take Guardian into new locations to ensure we keep industry leading levels of visibility into our IT assets.”
Getting your IT infrastructure right can be a challenge, but it doesn’t have to be. If you’re a government leader grappling with legacy IT, this talk is your chance to see how Cloudhouse can make the impossible possible and future-proof your systems, saving millions in the process.
Listen to the talk on Wednesday 6th November at 11am, where you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions. You can also meet both us and the wider Cloudhouse team at Stand A20 throughout the Government Transformation Expo.
