The good and bad of government in the cloud
Earlier this week US chief information officer Vivek Kundra rolled out a new programme for the American government known as Apps.gov.
The portal site will allow those working in federal agencies to browse various web-based services and ultimately purchase and implement cloud computing systems for use in federal agencies.
Kundra and others within the Obama administration hope that the programme will pay big dividends by not only modernising IT for many agencies, but cutting down on the operational costs associated with installing and maintaining on-site hardware and software.
