GovCloud: Cloud Computing for the Business of
Government “Update and Outlook”

Open to Government, Contractors & the Press

The United States Government is the world’s largest consumer of
information technology, spending over $76 billion annually on more than 10,000
different systems. Fragmentation of systems, poor project execution, and the
drag of legacy technology in the Federal Government have presented barriers to
achieving the productivity and performance gains found when technology is
deployed effectively in the private sectors.

All that is changing as the Administration obliges federal departments to
look to Cloud computing to cut costs and solve many of the problems that have
plagued IT deployment for decades. The problem, however, is how do federal IT
managers and those controlling the budgets go about deciding what is best for
them.

Leading experts from
Government and Industry will update the press and attendees on …
