May 21, 2024
The observation was clear from the opening of this second edition of the “State in the Cloud” day: a significant acceleration!

Nearly 400 participants represented the entire Cloud ecosystem, and were made up of more than 60% public officials, but also representatives of Cloud, SNC and non-SNC offers, journalists, etc.
The program was structured between great testimonials on Cloud strategies in France and Europe – from regulations to organizational transformation -, the presentation of offers and concrete feedback, within the framework of around twenty sessions led by 40 speakers.
Interventions supplemented by times of informal and friendly exchanges, particularly around “corners” presenting different offers: the BIN Cloud, the internal interministerial Clouds Pi and Nubo, and the SNC offers (Cloud Temple, OVHCloud, 3DS Outscale).
A look back at the main messages of the day
A permanent dialogue between sovereignty and innovation
The main messages of the day highlighted the importance of a dynamic dialogue between sovereignty and innovation. Securing France’s data and digital infrastructure remains a priority, requiring a rigorous approach to sovereignty.
However, to remain competitive in the global market, innovation driven by cutting-edge technologies is essential. Thus, it is imperative to advance French and European offers, in particular through partnerships between the public and private sectors, and initiatives such as the demonstrator project.
The gradual strengthening of the French Cloud ecosystem
It is illustrated by the significant growth in the use of national Cloud services: the annual amount of orders sent to French Cloud providers on the market operated by UGAP increased by 70% between 2022 and 2023, and the offers internal interministerial Clouds Pi and Nubo have also seen their capacities increase rapidly. The pooling of purchasing resources and the sharing of good practices are also essential elements to optimize the use of available resources and guarantee efficiency in the implementation of projects.
A profound and organizational transformation
The transition to a Cloud-oriented production chain involves an in-depth review of processes, teams and tools. This transformation requires cultural change, close collaboration between teams and a desire for change at all levels of public entities.
The acceleration of digital transformation driven by the Cloud is necessary in order to meet business needs with agility and speed.
Community growth and satisfaction
Following the event, more than 30 new members joined the Cloud Adoption community, which now brings together more than 450 members, all public officials. This space makes it possible to extend the discussions initiated during the Cloud day, to share the materials projected during the event and more broadly news and information on the Cloud in the public sphere.

Elements that DINUM will take into account for future events linked to the Cloud. The meeting has also been made for next year and 94% of participants have expressed their desire to participate. The DINUM also recognizes the importance of highlighting the State’s successes in the field of Cloud in order to multiply good practices, attract and promote skills and finally pool approaches.
