The Justice Cloud has been under development for a year. The project requires testing across several dimensions: the deployment of new cloud technologies, collaboration within a ‘private community cloud’ between public IT service providers in the justice sector, and the establishment of a governance framework that enables rapid strategic decision-making whilst also involving all stakeholders.

• What are the experiences and challenges at this stage?
• How can a balance be struck between the judiciary’s existing operational IT landscape and the vision of a state-of-the-art cloud platform with new demands on capabilities, technologies and the pace of innovation?
• What lessons can be learnt from this – for other digitalisation projects within the judiciary and beyond?
