⭐ Good Practice Description

The 2016 Irish Government ICT Strategy followed three key principles: digital services transformation, data sharing solution and skills and the Build to Share concept. The Build to Share part of the strategy aimed to bring together 20 departments. So, a roadmap for hybrid delivery was seen as an opportunity to scale ICT infrastructure capabilities.

Success Factors

Governance and Organizational Structure	The Irish government Build to Share strategic programme includes good practices related to governance and organisational structure for federated cloud. The strategy implementation governance includes three tiers: 1. Civil service management board; 2. Sub-group; 3. ICT advisory board. The success at the central government level is driving the CIO’s office to consider a memorandum of understanding to enable local governments to access some resources.
