Public Sector

Cloud-first government, delivered within the policy.

Governments across our markets are adopting cloud-first policies. Kenya's Cloud Policy 2025, for example, made cloud-first mandatory for public entities and gave them a three-tier data classification to follow. That turns cloud from a debate into a delivery problem: which workloads go to public cloud, which need an in-country deployment, and how to get both done with accredited providers and auditable controls.
