How “the cloud” is changing the UK’s Meteorological Office (video)

So this lady from the weather agency walks into a cloud conference…

While it sounds like a setup for a bad joke, it’s actually the setup for an interview with Michaela Drummond of the Meteorological Office, the UK government agency for all things related to weather and climate change.

At the CloudBeat conference today, we caught up with Drummond to chat about how cloud technologies are changing the workflow for Met Office workers, many of whom are now able to easily work remotely and from mobile devices. We talk about the Met Office’s transition from SharePoint to Huddle and how Drummond sees collaboration changing over the next few years, too.

Stay tuned for more from CloudBeat today, and check out other interviews with luminaries we’ve met with so far at the conference.
