 As agencies began spinning up servers in datacenters they didn't own ("the cloud"), the same process continued to apply. Level headed IT innovators quickly realized that multiple agencies were certifying the same datacenter, with each agency individually required to go through that lengthy process each time. Enter FedRAMP:

 In a time when government IT is trying to "do more with less", does every single system — including the one used to share funny animated GIFs — really need half a million taxpayer dollars worth of certification? Most startups get off the ground with significantly less capital, not to mention, we'd be doing ourselves a disservice if we flat-out refused to use any service that failed to comply.
