Colleagues

As reported in Federal Computer Weekly ... Cloud computing will play a major role in modernizing the federal government’s technology infrastructure, according to a White House document published with the administration's 2010 budget request.

White House officials want agencies to launch pilot projects that identify common services & solutions, and that focus on cloud computing and "utilization of social
and visual technologies, such as Web 2.0 tools", according to the “ Analytical Perspectives ” document released with the budget request.

Cloud computing refers to an arrangement in which an organization pays a service provider to deliver applications, computing power and storage via the Web ...The document goes on to state that Web 2.0 technologies should be employed because "Existing Government websites need to be revitalized with community-driven features and functionality"....

Cloud computing pilot projects should address the risks and new policies required to implement the emerging technology, the document states, such as...

— End-user communications and computing—secure
provisioning, support (help desk), and operation
of end-user applications across a spectrum of
devices;addressing telework and a mobile workforce.

— Secure virtualized data centers, with Government to-
Government, Government-to-Contractor, and
Contractor-to-Contractor modes of service delivery.

— Portals, collaboration and messaging—secure data
dissemination, citizen and other stakeholder engagement,
and workforce productivity.

— Content, information, and records management—
delivery of services to citizens and workforce
productivity.

— Workflow and case management—delivery of services
to citizens and workforce productivity.

— Data analytics, visualization, and reporting—
transparency and management.

— Enterprise Software-as-a-Service—for example, in
financial management.
