State and local government organizations across the country are facing a variety of new challenges.
Budgets are tighter. New technologies offer ways to be more efficient, but government agencies may not have the time, talent, or resources to implement them properly. There is pressure to be more innovative—not just to improve services, but also to attract jobs.
But each of these challenges also offer an opportunity to transform and better serve your community. And that opportunity is in tailored cloud solutions.
Whether you’re a state government serving millions, or a small local agency serving a specific need for a small community, your constituents’ expectations are constantly growing.
Thanks to the instant gratification of the digital world, the community you serve is less likely to tolerate the slow pace of traditional bureaucratic processes. They want to access their benefits, communicate with your organization, and find information to solve their problem—and they want it now. Your constituents want to see your organization using technology to improve their lives and communities.
At the same time, your organization is tasked with making responsible use of taxpayer funds. Can your organization meet those always-on demands while staying on budget?
A managed cloud solution can make it happen. In addition to always-on reliability, your organization will be able to leverage new and innovative technologies like AI, big data, and IoT to better serve your community. And you’ll be able to keep everything up and running with robust cloud-based data backup and disaster recovery options.
Your organization is entrusted with large amounts of personal data, and it’s your duty to protect it. But this data makes government organizations and agencies valuable targets for cybercriminals. Governments are taking these threats seriously, and many are enacting stricter privacy and security regulations to help combat these attacks.
Attacks are also becoming increasingly sophisticated, so it can be time consuming and expensive to stay several steps ahead of the threat. By migrating to the cloud, you can offload the burden of security to a trusted cloud provider and security expert.
No matter what cloud option you select—public, private, or hybrid—your organization will be able to access the enterprise-level security measures that keep your data safe. And cloud-based data backup and disaster recovery solutions can help protect your organization from everything from natural disasters to ransomware.
Departments and agencies across your organization should be able to work together and collaborate easily—but thanks to disparate systems, software, and applications, it doesn’t always work that way. And managing and maintaining a complex web of different technologies across your organization can be a headache.
Streamlining your technology improves productivity and collaboration, and also saves your IT team both time and resources. It can also help provide a more seamless experience for your constituents.
Centralizing your IT solutions in the cloud will not only simplify your IT operations, it will allow for automated deployments, updates, and support across your organization.
