Learn MoreSince 2020, the use of digital workplace services by U.S. state and local governments and educational (SLED) agencies has seen significant changes and advancements. This shift, in large part, is due to pandemic-driven impacts in work environments, widespread staff retirements and shortages, and most recently, the availability of substantial funds from the U.S. federal government to upgrade IT and increase the operational efficiency and effectiveness of associated projects.
Research by Comparitech shows that the total cost of data breaches faced by the U.S. government in 2022 was $26 billion. This amount could have been spent on education, healthcare, defense or justice if cyberattacks were managed well. The research shows that such attacks impact approximately two-thirds of U.S. citizens. The downtime for a breach in local government was five months. In terms of the attack targets, the top five states are Texas, Georgia, California, Florida and Pennsylvania.
As the commercial and consumer use of cloudbased IT infrastructure continues to grow, its use among state, local and education (SLED) and other public-service client organizations also increases. This, in turn, is driving rapidly growing interest in, and purchases of, private/hybrid/data center managed hosting and managed services by SLED organizations.
The mainframe service market continues to grow as per ISG’s expectations for both conventional mainframe outsourcing and consulting services as enterprises migrate their mainframe applications to the cloud. With clients under pressure to reduce their mainframe costs, several service providers are addressing the increasing demand to free business data that resides in mainframe systems.
This ISG Public Sector Provider Lens™ research study examines public cloud service providers that develop, enable and deliver capabilities needed by these public sector organizations in the U.S. as they work to improve operations, reduce costs, address digital change, and improve their ability to serve constituencies and internal users alike.
