Why choose a cloud-native approach over legacy systems?

A cloud-native approach offers federal agencies greater agility, scalability, and security compared to legacy systems. Unlike traditional infrastructure, cloud-native environments are built for rapid innovation, automated updates, and real-time responsiveness. They reduce operational costs, improve resilience, and align with federal compliance standards like FedRAMP. Agencies benefit from enhanced visibility, faster deployment cycles, and stronger cybersecurity—making cloud-native solutions a strategic choice for modernizing mission-critical operations.

Where do cloud operations and modernization typically have the greatest impact?

Cloud operations and modernization have the greatest impact when they directly support mission delivery, improve cybersecurity posture, and optimize cost-efficiency. Federal agencies face mounting pressure to replace legacy systems, manage technical debt, and scale services securely and reliably. Cloud modernization enables real-time data access, automation, and AI integration—freeing up IT teams to focus on innovation while enhancing resilience and compliance. These efforts help agencies meet evolving mandates, reduce operational risk, and deliver better outcomes for citizens.

Are Maximus's cloud services compliant with government regulations.

Yes, Maximus’s cloud services are fully aligned with government regulations. We offer secure, scalable solutions designed to meet federal compliance standards, including FedRAMP and FISMA. Our cloud environments are built with governance, security, and mission alignment at the core—ensuring agencies can modernize confidently while maintaining strict regulatory adherence.

What are the cost benefits of moving to the cloud?

Moving to the cloud offers federal agencies significant cost benefits by reducing capital expenditures on hardware, lowering ongoing maintenance costs, and optimizing resource usage. Cloud adoption improves operational efficiency, supports energy savings, and reduces the total cost of ownership over time—especially when paired with strategic planning and governance. These savings free up budget for innovation and mission-critical priorities.
