It's been over a decade since the federal government began its journey toward IT modernization, but progress has been slow compared to the private sector. In a recent survey of 200 federal IT decision makers, only 7% reported that they had completed their IT modernization and a little over a third (35%) indicated they had all or most of their IT systems in the cloud.[i] By contrast, 93% of enterprises said they had moved to multicloud according to the 2020 State of the Cloud Report.[ii] The top challenge cited for the slow move by federal IT leaders was that multiple solutions may need to be adopted since not all FedRAMP-authorized solutions provide a comprehensive set of functionalities.
