Cloud has become part of state and local governments’ underlying IT infrastructure, enabling departments and agencies to secure, integrate and analyze data in powerful new ways. A majority report more than half of their current systems and applications can be migrated to cloud environments, and many have — or plan to — move mission-critical applications as well.
As the cloud’s underlying technologies mature and governments continue migration efforts, the platform of the future is coming into focus, promising the ability to leverage data in new ways to deliver predictive insights and impactful results.

Public sector organizations have been going through digital transformation for a number of years now, but in the past 20 months we have seen many accelerate their digital journey. Advances in technology around mobility, cloud, and cyber have helped government and educational agencies meet the new expectations of employees and constituents. From navigating the new world of hybrid remote work to deploying modern apps in record time while strengthening cybersecurity, cloud adoption has allowed these agencies to become more agile and resilient, despite the disruption caused by the pandemic.
Over the last two years it has become apparent that a single cloud will not provide all the capabilities required for any large enterprise environment. As a matter of fact, in a 2020 Forrester survey of Government IT leaders, 56% planned on increasing the amount of clouds used in their environment over the next 3 years. So multi-cloud is real and growing. It's no secret that the flexibility that comes with leveraging a multi-cloud approach is excellent - but it also comes with complexity that can force trade-offs between moving fast and managing risk.
