Government IT, or government information technology, refers to the use of information technology (IT) by government agencies to deliver public services, manage their operations, and make decisions. Government IT can include a wide range of applications, such as:
- E-government services, such as online tax filing, online voting, and online permit applications
- Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, which help government agencies manage their finances, human resources, and other resources

- Legacy systems that are outdated and difficult to maintain
- Security risks, such as cyberattacks

- Compliance: Government agencies must comply with a variety of regulations, which can make it difficult to move applications to the cloud.
- Cost: Cloud hosting can be more expensive than on-premises hosting, depending on the specific needs of the government agency.
