HMRC, the tax and revenue authority in the UK has a stated goal of becoming one of the most digital tax administrations in the world by 2020. The Department is in the midst of a digitally-enabled transformation and having a flexible infrastructure in place to underpin this is crucial – one that can support its business needs now and into the future. This includes allowing project teams to securely be able to take advantage of “the right cloud for the job”, as well as gain insight into the efficiency and pricing of consumed resources.
With key goals of delivering quality digital services in a more cost efficient manner, and without being locked into any one supplier, this talk will give an insight into HMRC’s cloud journey. It will focus on some of the challenges, approaches and thinking in this area, including looking at how HMRC is using, embracing and contributing back to various tools in the open source space as part of this.
