5 Reasons Why Government Must Embrace the Cloud

The mandates are clear: Federal government must move to the cloud.

The push for cloud adoption isn’t just a recommendation – it’s an executive order (14028). Federal agencies are tasked with accelerating their transition to secure cloud services like SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS. But the benefits of cloud adoption go far beyond compliance.

Explore how the cloud transforms government operations, and how enterprise architecture supports migration and cloud operations:

• Cut costs: Target the right migrations for maximum ROI, eliminate redundant tech, and reduce ongoing spend.
• Scale with agility: Simulate demand spikes and reuse reference architectures for compliance and multi-cloud scaling.
• Prioritize security: Map data lineage, trace NIST controls to apps, and use “what-if” failure analysis to coordinate security response and reduce Mean Time to Recovery.
• Boost collaboration: Use a single source of truth, dependency-aware roadmaps, and integration with collaboration tools to align cross-agency teams, keep plans visible, and unlock reusable services and consistent change management.
• Enhance public services: Map capabilities to services to prioritize migrations for highest-impact services, test peak-load “what-ifs” and tie service KPIs to architecture components.
