Cloud Vendors Discuss Federal Government IT Reform

From SIIA Cloud/Gov, Feb 16, 2012:

Since the release of the "25 Point Implementation Plan to Reform Federal IT Management" just over a year ago, the U.S. Government has been working hard to reform and improve the operational efficiency of its massive IT infrastructure. Cloud First is a major component of this plan, but just one piece in a much larger puzzle. Leading IT and cloud vendors will provide their insights into this critical process, including: Efforts to centralize and consolidate data centers and streamline IT procurement, Increase reliance on shared services across agencies, and Strategic integration of "light technology" that harnesses cloud services for rapid deployment and sharing.
