Cloud Adoption and Procurement Practices
1
Survey Overview
To better understand the status of cloud adoption and its procurement practices in targeted geographic locations Unisys commissioned the Center for Digital Government to survey state and local government officials.
To accomplish this task, the Center for Digital Government surveyed 109 state and local government IT professionals from July to August 2013. The survey results are reflective of those who subscribe to Government Technology and Governing with a maximum sampling error in the survey of +/- 9.38% at a 95% confidence. The results of this survey cannot be projected to the entire population.

Key Findings
• 46% of respondents indicate their jurisdiction has, or is planning to, implement a cloud offering; 42% of respondents indicate their jurisdiction had NOT implemented a cloud offering • For those who have, or are planning to, implement a cloud
offering (46%), most likely resources are Web Applications (70%) and Data Storage (60%)
• Hybrid (44%) and Private (36%) Cloud environments are most likely to be used by respondent jurisdictions.
6
• The #1 reason jurisdictions are adopting a cloud environment is Reducing Hardware & Software Capital/Maintenance Costs
• Concerns about Data Security (71%) is the main barrier identified to cloud adoption
• Ensuring Data Security is Extremely Important to 82% of respondents when considering whether or not to adopt a cloud environment
Key Findings
7
Key Findings • Over one third (39%) of respondents have, or are planning to,
utilize shared service agreements for cloud services • Statewide agreements (55%) are most popular vehicles
• Procurement Contracts are used by less than 15% of respondents;
WSCA (75%) is the MOST considered contract vehicle by respondent’s jurisdictions
• Jurisdictions appear to have a lack of understanding about procurement contracts and what is available to them; 36% indicate they “Don’t Know” what is available for procuring cloud services, 52% say they “Don’t Know” if they would consider using a contract for cloud procurement
8
Key Findings
• For those jurisdictions “Planning /Considering” shared services agreements for cloud services, a vendor’s technology independence/neutrality is ‘Very Important’ to 81% of respondents. • The ability to provide advisory services (61%), and having an
existing contract vehicle available (58%) are also ‘Very Important’ to these organizations
• Vendors providing cloud services should be able to demonstrate
security protocols and assurances to state and local government jurisdictions while offering a technology neutral solution at a price point that reduces an organization’s overall expense

• States and localities are primarily looking to reduce their hardware and software capital and maintenance costs. – Nearly one in four respondents listed this as their #1 investment driver
• Meet the growing demands of a more mobile workforce – This survey demonstrates that the future of government service
delivery will demand greater mobility. In fact, 46% of respondents have or will conduct an assessment to go mobile or BYOD
– One in five respondents listed this as their #1 priority when considering cloud adoption
• Update Old and Out of Date Critical Software Applications – Finally, cloud is being examined as a solution to legacy applications.
Older systems and the need for flexibility have 16% of respondents listing this as their number #1 priority

Assessment Methods
• Feasibility & migration assessments for cloud adoption are currently mostly done in-house ‒ Over two-thirds (69%) of respondents who indicated they
have used shared services for the cloud agreements performed a feasibility or migration assessment using in-house resources.
• Opportunity exists for third party vendors to perform feasibility & migration assessments for those not already in the cloud. ‒ 61% of those planning to use shared services would consider
using a third party to conduct a feasibility & migration assessment.

What Does This Mean for Unisys?
25
• Opportunities for cloud services exist with state and localities in target states – One in eight respondents are planning to go to the cloud and almost
half have not yet acquired cloud services or made plans to
– Dominant cloud environments are hybrid (44%) and private (36%); very little interest in public (4%) or community (2%) clouds
• Messaging to states and localities in target states would be best focused on ensuring data security and reduction of capital and maintenance costs – Ensuring data security is listed as “Extremely Important” or
“Important” by 95% of respondents in driving their decision to adopt a cloud environment.
– Nearly one in four respondents listed reduction of their hardware and software capital and maintenance costs as their #1 investment driver.
Conclusions
26
• Shared services agreements for cloud adoption are not yet widely used by state and local governments in target states – 39% of state and local governments use or are planning to use shared
service agreements to move into the cloud
– Statewide agreements such as WSCA are most prevalent amongst those state and local governments looking into shared service agreements.
• Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA) contract, other State-Term contracts, or other collaborative agreements are widely considered, though infrequently used. – 6% of jurisdictions have used WSCA contract for cloud adoption while
75% would consider using it
Conclusions
27
• Opportunity for advisory services exists with jurisdictions planning to utilize a shared services agreement for cloud procurement – Over half of jurisdictions surveyed have not or don’t know if they have
conducted an assessment to determine the feasibility of migrating to the cloud (50%), mobile/BYOD (54%), or a shared services/collaborative agreement (62%).
– 61% of jurisdictions in target states who are planning to use a shared services agreement would consider using a third party vendor.
• Technology independence/neutrality and the ability to provide advisory services are critical factors for state and local governments planning to pursue a shared services agreement for cloud.
