# VA – Cloud Modernization; Enterprise Cloud Solutions Office (ECSO) and various VA Program Stakeholders

### Problem

Lack of visibility, governance and effective management re: migrations of legacy systems to the VA Cloud.

Application and program technology transitions were taking too long to transition, costing too much, and actionable information was not available to VA personnel for decision support.

### Solution

CloudKey accelerated planning/migration velocity, and significantly improved ongoing cloud performance, and overall cost savings.

Additionally, CloudKey is used by VA stakeholders as a centralized data collection, analysis and decision support tool. It assists as an intuitive system for data gathering, analysis, and assessment and serves a single source of truth for decision-making re: cloud investments and management.

IronArch’s CloudKey application was implemented and approved as an official system of record for ECSO.

### Impact

Reduced intake, provisioning and deployment timelines by **40%**  
Reduced baseline migration costs **by 60%, translating to well over $11M in savings in 2023 alone.**  
**Achieved an ROI** for the CloudKey solution for VA ECSO of 7x.  
Increased VA delivery performance and compliance re: **61 distinct agency delivery rules/mandates for VA business, technical, and security requirements** that govern the VLMF process and drive workflow for VA Production Systems.
