Ontario’s broader public sector (BPS) is under pressure to modernize IT infrastructure while navigating tight budgets and strict compliance mandates. Whether you’re part of a healthcare organization, school board, or municipal government, your cloud strategy must balance cost control, security, and procurement efficiency.
With Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) solutions available through the OECM purchasing agreement, public sector organizations can now access pre-negotiated pricing, best-in-class infrastructure, and expert guidance — all while staying compliant with procurement requirements.
As cloud adoption accelerates, how can public sector organizations optimize their strategies to reduce costs, enhance flexibility, and ensure compliance? Here are five key considerations.
Gain Visibility Into Your IT Environment
Many BPS organizations struggle to manage sprawling cloud resources and shadow IT. Gaining full visibility is the first step to optimizing costs.
HPE GreenLake, available through OECM, delivers real-time usage insights across hybrid environments. You only pay for what you use — no more overprovisioning.
Adopt a Consumption-Based Model
Traditional CAPEX models often leave public sector IT leaders stuck with expensive, underused infrastructure.
With HPE GreenLake’s pay-as-you-go model, BPS organizations can scale up or down based on demand — without the financial waste. Procurement through OECM further streamlines this by eliminating lengthy RFP processes and offering transparent, compliant purchasing.
Enforce Governance & Policy Compliance
Misaligned cloud usage policies can lead to compliance gaps and budget overruns. HPE offers tools that help enforce governance policies and automate guardrails.
OECM’s vendor vetting process also ensures that any HPE solution purchased through its agreements meets strict compliance, privacy, and service standards relevant to Ontario’s public sector.
Centralize Procurement with OECM
Fragmented IT purchases often lead to redundancy and overspending. Leveraging OECM means your organization benefits from consolidated procurement, reduced administrative overhead, and predictable pricing on HPE infrastructure, storage, and cloud services.
Secure by Design
Public institutions can’t afford a breach. HPE delivers security-first infrastructure, from silicon root-of-trust to end-to-end encryption. When procured via OECM, your organization benefits from trusted, pre-qualified security solutions designed for compliance in public sector environments.
Final Thoughts: Align Cloud Goals with Policy + Budget
For Ontario’s public sector, the key to cloud success isn’t just about technology — it’s about smart strategy, aligned procurement, and fiscal stewardship.
With HPE’s leading infrastructure solutions and the efficiency of OECM procurement, your organization can modernize with confidence.
