CatN announces new service catalogue for G-Cloud 4

ENGLAND, UK: CatN, a UK based cloud hosting company specialising in Open Source technology, announces the availability of its services on the new G-Cloud 4 Framework. CatN's entire service catalogue is now available with the addition of several new consultancy services previously only available to private sector clients.

Mark Sutton, CatN CTO, said: "Looking at the recent G-Cloud sales figures, it is easy to see that G-Cloud is starting to transform the way that government procures and undertakes IT projects, and to be a part of that is very important."

Joe Gardiner, CatN head of Product, added: "In round 4 of G-Cloud a rewritten version of our Platform as a Service product is now available. We have added more new features and made it even simpler to use applications such as WordPress, Magento and Drupal without any coding knowledge. We are seeing a shift away from IaaS towards PaaS in the IT industry so hopefully we will see a similar trend in G-Cloud 4."

In the past CatN has written about how the tendency on previous G-Cloud frameworks in sales is towards Specialist Cloud Services, essentially consultancy training and education.

Simon Trigg, CatN head of Solutions commented: "Clearly, there is a big demand for education about cloud in government and we are delighted to offer our technology and business expertise to government and be a part of this effort with a whole range of specialist cloud services previously unavailable from CatN on the Cloud Store."

CatN works with a several partners to deliver services across a range of government procurement frameworks. The company has formed a number of strategic partnerships working with software development agencies, consultancy companies and hardware vendors.

Trigg added: "CatN runs a number of meet-ups and technology events where individuals and small companies join together to understand, experience, innovate and design new value-added services. We are looking forward to working with our partners to provide these services to government to drive innovation and reduce the cost of IT in government."
