This Government Insights report analyzes the current VA datacenter consolidation and reviews the impact of the IT deployment on return on investment (ROI), risk, transformation, and innovation.

According to Adelaide O'Brien, research manager, Government Insights, "Access to vast amounts of data is required to run our government and to enable better service to citizens. This data must be accessible, available, and as comprehensive as possible to enable good decision making, yet also secure to protect citizens' rights and privacy. Datacenter consolidation can not only reduce complexity and operational inconsistency, but also effectively leverage infrastructure capacity, standardize IT platforms and IT management processes, consolidate procurements, increase security and service-level availability, and provide government the means to vastly improve its citizen service and meet agency and regulatory requirements.
