A substantial break once separated state and local governments from the private sector in their use of leading-edge technologies. One consequence of the pandemic was the realization that the gap was closing.
State and local governments who previously lagged in their planning, strategy, and adoption of cloud-based solutions had to adapt. For many governments, this meant realizing the instant benefits of their cloud technology initiatives while those on the sidelines were scrambling to play catch up.
Across the country, state and local government CIOs have turned to the cloud to support their work-from-home initiatives and provide critical services to their communities. Whether the motivation is to do more with less, reduce cost, modernize applications, share information, support collaboration, enable employee productivity, create an effective disaster recovery strategy, or optimize operations, state and local governments have found the cloud to be their saving grace.
Implementing an automated, cloud-managed infrastructure has significant benefits for government organizations looking to transform their current modes of operation. IT departments no longer have to purchase, deploy, and maintain computing hardware and software in-house, while cloud services are quick and easy to deploy and scale as needed.
Cloud-based solutions, like their on-premise equivalents, require careful preparation, vendor selection, resource planning, and strong leadership. This is why your community must develop a cloud migration strategy that will help them reach their community’s individual goals.
