Join the cloud platform
Submit an enquiry form
To join the platform, complete and submit the cloud platform enquiry form.
The cloud platform team will get in touch within 5 days to discuss what you need. If you need help to complete the form, email cloud1st@gov.scot.
Assessing your needs
The cloud platform team will then review your answers. This will help them decide if the cloud platform is the right solution for you.
If it is, they’ll ask you:
- some technical questions
- to take part in a workshop to understand your needs
They’ll then write a statement of work for you. The statement of work will take around 7 days to write. You’ll then have to get it signed off.
Planning your move
The cloud platform team will work with you to plan and do the work needed to move you to the platform. As part of this, they’ll ask you to consider:
- if you need to change your business processes
- if you'll just move what you've got into cloud and change it later (sometimes called 'lift and shift')
- how you plan to improve what you have in cloud
Setting up accounts and onboarding
The cloud platform team will then set you up with accounts. They’ll also oversee and support you to onboard to the platform.
You’ll then be able to transfer your work to the cloud platform.
