In February, InformationWeek Government and InformationWeek Analytics surveyed federal IT pros to gauge their agencies’ plans for cloud computing. Our 2011 Federal Government Cloud Computing Survey shows a big jump in the use of cloud services, with 29% of respondents indicating that their agencies are using cloud services, up ten points from a year ago. Another 29% say their agencies will tap into the cloud within 12 months, which means that cloud adoption should surpass the 50% mark at some point in the year ahead.
