It argues the ‘right cloud’ is based around the tenet that ‘no single cloud or non-cloud deployment model can meet all of [its] requirements.”<\/p>\nAlongside the typical descriptions of SaaS, IaaS, PaaS, as well as private, public and the like, the section on creating a cloud workforce is of particular interest. The document argues that IT professionals will need enhanced analytical skills, as well as greater business acumen and a better ability to conduct vendor management relations “to ensure that the government receives full value for its funding and full benefits under the contracts or arrangements.”<\/p>\n
The GC is also helping to sponsor a Canadian Public Sector Community Cloud (CPSCC), which aims to be a marketplace for public cloud services accredited by the government on a security level.<\/p>\n
The move for ‘right cloud’ differs markedly from the UK’s ‘cloud first’ policy for public sector IT launched back in 2013.<\/p>\n
“Canadians expect governments to make the most of available technologies to improve service delivery,” said Scott Brison, president of the treasury board in a statement. “Cloud computing will help the Government of Canada get better value for taxpayers’ dollars, become more nimble in its operations, and meet the evolving needs of Canadians.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
