GTRA Research Brief: The Acceptance of Cloud Computing in the Federal Government

 

Only a few years ago, the term “Cloud Computing” was known only to the hyper-savvy techies of the world. Today, hardly a week goes by where technology publications and e-newsletters don’t mention the term and how it is revolutionizing the federal IT landscape. In 2009, GTRA has seen government executives go from bewilderment to general acceptance of Cloud as a viable model. In this research brief, we look at the key factors which have lead to Cloud’s acceptance, address the top concern federal executives have vis-à-vis implementing Cloud Networks, and take a glimpse into the future to see what government executives should do next.
