At the end of Summer 2020, [RingCentral](https://www.ringcentral.co.uk/) surveyed over 700 participants across the public sector.  They’ve analysed the responses to understand the impacts of the pandemic in a variety of areas, from remote working through to how public services are evolving to meet the needs of citizens and staff.

In this session, delivered at [Government ICT](https://government-ict.co.uk/) in January 2021, the RingCentral team explore the results and key findings in more detail and provide an insight into how your peers are thinking about:

- Cloud adoption, barriers and opportunities
- The use and risk of unapproved technologies
- Integration with core business applications
- Focus areas for 2021
