Maximus and Genesys announced the results of a new survey of federal, state, and local government officials about their cloud deployments.

The findings reveal a greater understanding of where agencies are in their cloud adoption journey, how they perceive cloud solutions, and whether they are using FedRAMP solutions in their cloud environments.

More government officials say they have moved citizen and mission data to the cloud, in part due to confidence in FedRAMP. Key findings 91% of federal agency respondents and 93% of state and local respondents said they have all, most, or some systems and solutions in the cloud.

95% of federal and 97% of state and local respondents recognized benefits, beyond adhering to mandates, from moving to a FedRAMP-authorized solution, including long-term cost savings and acceleration to broader cloud adoption.

"It is clear from the results of the survey that government agencies recognize the value of FedRAMP from the security standpoint along with the ability to drive long-term cost-savings and embark on an accelerated cloud adoption strategy," said Raj Parameswaran, President, U.S Federal Information Technology, Maximus.

"As others look to follow in those footsteps, they are recognizing the value of compliance standards like FedRAMP-authorized solutions. The survey findings are the latest example of how critical it is to have a proven cloud migration strategy."
