Here's a real shock ....

For example, 7 of the 20 plans did not include estimated costs and none of
the plans for services that were to migrate existing functionality to a
cloud-based service included plans for retiring or repurposing the
associated legacy systems. According to agency officials, this was largely
because the information was not available at the time the plans were
developed. Until agencies’ cloud implementations are sufficiently planned
and relevant systems are retired, the benefits of federal efforts to
implement cloud solutions—improved operational efficiencies and reduced
costs—may be delayed or not fully realized.


I wonder how much these knee-jerk implementations cost and how much of the
money was COMPLETELY wasted, like the failed FBI and NARA electronic
records implementations?
