The state of #cloud in state and #localgovernments

If I had to choose a positive aspect of this global pandemic, it would surely be the accelerated pace of #digitalisation in different countries.

Indeed, even before Covid-19, #cloudapplications had been used by state and local governments, whether they thought about it or not. However, it was soon seen as a necessity more than a choice, and it became clear that the #publicsector needed systems which are more responsive and agile.

While each country’s journey toward #cloudcomputing has been different, many have followed the federal government’s footsteps.

According to the 2020 Digital States Survey, only 12% of respondents had moved more than half of their systems and applications to the cloud.

This means that there is still a very long way to go toward digitalisation so that States can benefit from increased security, agility, and efficiency.
