The cloud isn’t just white – It can save millions

The shift to cloud computing has taken over Fortune 500 companies. As Booz Allen recently highlighted, “Fortune 500 companies have already embraced cloud computing, but the federal government continues to depend on expensive, outdated data centers.” Government agencies seem to be delaying cloud optimization due to the potential disruption in services to citizens. They also fear losing their legacy systems and control over infrastructure. While all valid, they don’t align with today’s reality. At SAJ Tech, we aim to minimize these fears and deliver seamless cloud migration for all our clients.

Another reason for slow adoption is budget concerns. On the surface, the upfront costs of cloud migration may feel like a lot. But the truth is that cloud adoption saves millions in the long run. Maintenance costs, expensive hardware, and outdated systems will cost a lot more not just now but well into the future. In contrast cloud services free up these resources and provide better services overall.

The numbers speak for themselves: A Reuters report states that AWS has already been awarded $9 billion in cloud computing contracts, alongside Microsoft. Even more impressive, AWS projects that cloud adoption and modernization could save the federal government over $1 billion. So, what does this actually mean? It means for taxpayers we get a better utilization of government funds and public services. For agencies it means more promising systems that can grow with needs.
