"Cloud First"

We explain what cloud first means.

What is Cloud First?

Cloud First is an approach in which companies and organizations prioritize the use of cloud services when introducing or updating information systems. Traditionally, on-premise systems, where information systems such as servers and software were owned, managed, and operated in-house, were the norm, but with the expansion of the cloud market, more and more companies are using cloud services. The Japanese government is also promoting cloud first, and in 2018 announced the "Cloud First Promotion Guidelines." The reasons behind this are the benefits of using cloud services, such as shorter implementation times, reduced implementation costs, and improved availability.

At the Digital Agency Technology Review Committee held in May 2022, the government announced a new policy that would update its cloud-first policy to "cloud smart," which stands for "wise and appropriate use of the cloud." This policy aims not only to shift to cloud services, but also to ensure that the benefits of using them are fully realized.
