The cumulative productivity benefits of public cloud to the government sector could already be over $2 billion over the last 5 years according to a 2019 Deloitte report. In fact, the South Australian Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure has realised huge cost efficiencies as part of a pilot that moved small workloads to the cloud. Workloads that previously required 56 hours of huge computing power at an onsite hosting cost of $2,500 per month, now run in just 14 hours and cost just $100 per month.
