Podcast: Transforming our cloud hosting

For over 25 years, DWP outsourced its IT services to many different suppliers. Over the last few years we’ve been on a journey to bring these services back in-house, allowing us to move to building cloud native services ourselves.  

In the latest episode of the DWP Digital podcast, Jamie Faram from our hybrid cloud services team is joined by Ian Moore and Stuart Jennings from Nutanix, to talk about the transformation of cloud services.  You’ll hear all about the platforms and software used to enable such a large transformation and the lessons learned along the way.  

A full transcript of the episode can be found below.
