In the September 2020 edition of Government Technology, the article Cloud Clarity takes a look at how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted local government, and how cloud computing services have gained favor.
Government agencies were already making the jump to the cloud. In 2019, 34% of IT executives had a cloud migration strategy in place. Now, a whopping 59% of government IT executives plan to increase their adoption of the cloud.
Not surprising, the five most likely to move to the cloud government IT areas are almost identical between cities and counties:
Cities
- Geospatial Services
- Application Development & Testing
- Finance & Administration
- Public Safety / Law Enforcement
- Transportation
Counties
- Geospatial Services
- Application Development & Testing
- Health & Human Services / Finance & Administration (tie)
- Public Safety / Law Enforcement
- Transportation / Environment (tie)
