The government may never know exactly how much money it has saved from consolidating thousands of data centers because most agencies are reporting estimated savings and cost avoidance data to the Office of Management and Budget.
Of the 24 agencies participating in the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative, only three are reporting actual savings, according to a recent Government Accountability Office (GAO) report. So far, 19 agencies collectively reported achieving an estimated $1.1 billion in cost savings and avoidances between fiscal years 2011 and 2013.
