What You Need to Know About Adopting Cloud Based Products in the Public Sector
Are you in an IT management or analyst position in the US public sector? If so, you’re aware that one
Until recent years, US public sector organizations were largely focused on storing data in on-premise locations. However, as the COVID-19 pandemic persists and remote work continues to expand, a more comprehensive public sector shift to cloud backup and cloud security is not a matter of if, but when. The rapid move to remote work and learning environments has demonstrated state and local government’s ability to shift on the fly. While work-from-home arrangements were sporadic pre-pandemic, government technology leaders quickly and effectively adapted to the new requirements in the wake of COVID-19. Cloud computing security played a key role in empowering this rapid transition to new modes of work. Government and private-sector technology executives say this practical demonstration will accelerate the adoption of cloud based storage and SaaS going forward. In fact, a recent Flexera survey found 59 percent of enterprise IT leaders plan to increase cloud backup and cloud security adoption either slightly or significantly as a result of COVID-19. While many states have had some form of “cloud first” ambition in play in recent years, tight budgets and complex deployments have proven to be a blocker for some. That is where Acronis SCS comes in. As a cloud service provider we have the flexibility to help you get what your organization specifically needs. Whether your organization is just starting out on its cloud based storage journey or has been at it for some time already, we have the flexible deployment and licensing options necessary to help you stay #CyberFit along the way.
