About this tag
Local government IT content on WindowsForum covers digital modernisation and cloud migration projects in UK councils. The London Borough of Newham's £27.6 million pipeline includes Microsoft cloud licensing, parking systems, contact-centre technology, and payment services, reflecting a shift toward replacing legacy civic systems. South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse District Councils migrated from outsourced IT to an in-house Microsoft Azure environment, moving Microsoft 365, devices, Teams telephony, and 14 legacy servers. These examples illustrate a trend away from monolithic outsourcing contracts toward smaller internal teams using cloud platforms and automation to regain operational control. The tag focuses on procurement, governance, and infrastructure decisions in local government IT.
