Will we see an 'Ed-Cloud' before a G-Cloud?

According to our latest analysis, a number of factors – including tight budgets and the impact of the coalition government’s ‘localisation’ agenda on English education – will combine to make the education sector the earliest wide-scale adopter of cloud computing in the UK public sector. We expect the use of Cloud services to be ‘the norm’ in education within five to ten years, whereas, as we highlighted earlier this week, it could be ten years or more before this is widely true of central government in the UK (see What’s become of the UK government’s G-Cloud programme?).
