15. Increased agility has
become the #1 reason
Governments use the AWS
cloud
• Serve constituents and communities
• Easier Access to infrastructure
• React faster to public needs
• Overcome constrained IT budgets

16. Lower Costs with AWS Up-Front and Increase Savings as
Your Usage Grows

17. Governments Are Being Asked To Be Proactive
Add New Dev Environment
Add New Prod Environment
Add New Environment in Japan
Add 1,000 Servers
Remove 1,000 Servers
Deploy 1 PB Data Warehouse
Shut down 1 PB Data Warehouse
AWS:
Infrastructure in Minutes
Old World:
Infrastructure in Weeks
Everything changes with this kind of agility

18. A culture of Innovation: Experiment Often – Get to
the “Right” Answer More Quickly
On-Premises
Experiment Infrequently
Failure is expensive
Does Not Promote Innovation
Experiment Often
Fail quickly at a low cost
Encourages Innovation
