Cloud technologies for the government

Abstract

Of the many cultural attributes associated with a government — such as diplomacy, empathy, or tact — the one that is often questioned is the attribute of execution. Questions are raised and frustrations are voiced, all demanding to know information about the forthcoming policies, enabling projects, infrastructure projects as an example, and/or sometimes the status of a demanded service. Cloud technologies can play a vital role (read means) in making this information available through its fundamental capacities. This paper elaborates Ramco's experiences in working on large government projects where knowing the nature of an asset, government initiatives, etc and using this knowledge to exploit cloud technologies, has proved effective for the Government and its community.
