Choosing Between Azure, AWS and GCP for Government Workloads

Procurement rules, data residency requirements and existing licensing agreements usually decide this before technical merit enters the conversation — a ministry already on Microsoft 365 has a natural pull toward Azure regardless of which platform scores better on paper.

Where the decision is genuinely open, we weigh regional data-centre availability, support response times for the institution's time zone, and the depth of local partner ecosystem able to provide ongoing support after our engagement ends.

No platform is categorically 'better' for government workloads — the right choice depends on constraints specific to each institution.
