According to several studies, federal agencies still are unable to meet goals set by the federal government's Cloud First mandate. In addition, the ambitious FDCCI initiative, intended to save billions in data center costs, has produced mixed results with some agencies better equipped to meet baseline goals. One way to get back on track with Cloud First and to continue to meet FDCCI mandates is to focus on data center consolidation through better approaches to infrastructure management and cloud enablement to lower costs, improve efficiency, and boost productivity.
