Federal Agencies Lack Cloud Exit Strategy
Ninety percent of federal IT managers recently surveyed either say their agencies don't have or report being unaware of whether their agencies have a cloud computing exit strategy, according to a survey commissioned by Quest Software Public Sector.
Agencies need a cloud exit strategy if they want to move their data or change cloud providers, government and industry experts say. To avoid vendor lock-in, there should be mechanisms for data exchange that encourage portability across platforms, they add.

"I would agree that exit strategies don't exist," said Kevin Jackson, director of cloud services at IT consulting firm NJVC and a co-author of a book on applying cloud computing in the government.
"I would also add that entrance strategies are hard to come by as well, Jackson said, adding, most agencies are just trying to respond to the cloud-first policy," an Office of Management and Budget directive that requires federal agencies to move three applications to the cloud within the next 12 to 18 months.
