Cloud adoption in government,

the inhibitors, and a way forward

A Governance Now-B&M NXT Survey

of more than 40 senior decision

makers in the government

— Some Key Findings

On-premise IT poses multiple problems

for government organizations.

Q: With multiple instances and

versions of data/files residing on

the individual PCs and servers

across department, how severe

are the challenges pertaining to

data integrity/one-data-view?

Exponential rise in government and

citizen data is adding to the woes

Q: With the exponential rise in

government and citizen data,

particularly a flood of unstructured

data and imaging data, how difficult

is it to address the storage and

archival requirements across your

department?

Cloud adoption is still at a nascent stage

Q. What is the current level

of cloud adoption for office

productivity applications in

government departments?

Yet, expectations from cloud are high!

Q: How sure are you that adoption of

cloud for office productivity

applications could address the

challenges of data integrity,

versioning, etc.?

Q: How significant are the potential

benefits of moving to cloud, such as

rise in productivity, mobility,

flexibility, data integrity, speedier

decision making, etc.?

Perceived benefits are many!

Q: What are the key

reasons for not

moving workloads to

public clouds?

But there are some genuine concerns

to be addressed

Q: If office productivity applications were to

be hosted on cloud data centers located

within India, would that address concerns

around security and compliance?

Local hosting of cloud could address

many if not all of concerns in govts.

Thank you!
