The One Government Value Agreement (OGVA) is an AWS agreement designed to help UK public sector organisations reduce cloud costs while accessing additional benefits such as funding, training, and technical support.

Cloud Bridge helps organisations maximise OGVA by ensuring they fully utilise available discounts, incentives, and programmes.

Moving away from VMware involves migrating workloads to a modern, AWS-native cloud environment.

This typically includes:

• Assessing existing infrastructure
• Creating a phased migration plan
• Replatforming or refactoring applications
• Eliminating ongoing licensing costs

Cloud Bridge provides a structured VMware exit strategy designed to reduce cost and minimise disruption.

Modernising end user compute allows public sector organisations to:

• Reduce infrastructure and licensing costs (often by 60%+)
• Support hybrid and remote working
• Improve user experience for staff and students
• Shift from CAPEX to a more flexible OPEX model

This is particularly relevant for organisations looking to move away from legacy Citrix or VDI environments.

AWS enables public sector organisations to modernise contact centres using services like Amazon Connect.

This helps to:

• Reduce the cost of running contact centres
• Improve citizen and student experience
• Support omni-channel communications (voice, chat, digital)
• Scale during peak demand (e.g. clearing periods or service surges)

Cloud Bridge specialises in delivering these “digital front door” transformations.

Higher education organisations commonly face challenges such as:

• Student retention and wellbeing
• Demand for hybrid and remote learning environments
• Scaling systems during admissions and clearing
• Supporting research and data-intensive workloads

Cloud Bridge works with universities to address these challenges with outcome-focused cloud solutions.

Local government organisations can modernise services by digitising contact centres, automating document processing, and improving access to support services for residents.

Cloud adoption enables:

• Faster response times
• Reduced operational costs
• Better support for vulnerable populations

Charities can use cloud technologies to better understand donor behaviour, personalise engagement, and reduce operational overhead.

Key benefits include:

• Improved data analysis and insights
• More targeted fundraising campaigns
• Lower IT infrastructure costs

The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the organisation.

• Smaller projects can take a few weeks
• Larger transformations may take several months

Cloud Bridge uses a phased, outcome-led approach to ensure quick wins early, while building a long-term roadmap.

The best place to start is with a focused discovery or workshop to identify:

• Cost-saving opportunities
• Quick wins (e.g. VMware exit, EUC optimisation)
• Long-term modernisation priorities

This ensures your cloud journey is aligned to outcomes—not just technology.
