What migration challenges does this program address for public sector organizations?
TD SYNNEX Public Sector’s MAP-based services are built around the real‑world challenges that public sector organizations face when moving to the cloud. The program focuses on both technical and operational issues that often slow or block migration.
**Common challenges addressed**
1. **Aging and Costly On‑Premises Environments**
- Exit expensive or constrained data centers.
- Replace aged hardware that is out of support.
- Move away from end‑of‑life infrastructure and legacy software.
- Reduce technical debt by modernizing applications instead of repeatedly upgrading legacy platforms.
2. **Risk, Security, and Compliance**
- Build or improve disaster recovery strategies for critical services.
- Strengthen resilience against ransomware and cyber threats.
- Address data sensitivity and compliance requirements at state, local, and federal levels.
- Reduce operational and security risk while maintaining or improving service availability.
3. **Service Continuity and Citizen/Constituent Experience**
- Ensure continuity of essential public services around the clock.
- Support peak demand periods (for example, tax season or enrollment windows) with scalable cloud capacity.
- Modernize citizen‑facing applications for better user experiences.
- Deliver modern digital services that meet current expectations.
4. **Operational Efficiency and Cost Management**
- Reduce operational costs and redirect funds to core public services.
- Optimize cloud spend through Well‑Architected Reviews and ongoing cost management.
- Execute phased migrations that minimize disruption to staff and constituents.
5. **Hybrid and Distributed Work Environments**
- Support distributed workforces and remote service delivery.
- Enable remote learning and hybrid education models.
- Operate hybrid environments that combine on‑premises and cloud resources where needed.
**Typical migration use cases**
- **Exit Data Center:** Move workloads from aging or expensive data centers to AWS.
- **Legacy System Modernization:** Replatform or refactor legacy applications to improve performance, security, and maintainability.
- **Enhanced Security and Resilience:** Implement robust backup, disaster recovery, and ransomware protection for critical systems.
- **Constituent Services Modernization:** Improve digital portals, self‑service applications, and other citizen‑facing services.
By aligning to these use cases, TD SYNNEX Public Sector helps organizations rethink how they manage infrastructure, protect data, and deliver services, while staying within public sector constraints and compliance requirements.
