Gov Cloud Computing Vision Statement
Establish secure, easy to use, rapidly provisioned IT
services for the Government institutions, including:
• Agile and simple acquisition processes (self-service);
• Elastic, usage-based delivery of pooled computing
resources;
• Portable, reusable and interoperable business-driven tools;
• Browser-based ubiquitous internet access to services; and
• Always on and available, utility-like solutions.
21. Some hints
1. Embrace open standards: they encourage
innovation and grow the market
“The Law of Conservation of Attractive Profits
When attractive profits disappear at one stage in the
value chain because a product becomes modular and
commoditized, the opportunity to earn attractive profits
with proprietary products will usually emerge at an
adjacent stage.“
-- Clayton Christensen
Author of The Innovator's Solution
Harvard Business Review
22. Some hints
2. Build a simple system - let it evolve
“A complex system that works is
invariably found to have evolved
from a simple system that worked.
The inverse proposition also appears
to be true: A complex system
designed from scratch never works
and cannot be made to work. You
have to start over, beginning with a
working simple system.”
--John Gall, in Systemantics:
How Systems Really Work and How They Fail
23. Some hints
3. Build - Lower the Barriers
to Experimentation
“Failure is not an option!”
But for most projects this is not the case!
“I didn’t fail ten thousand times. I
successfully eliminated, ten thousand
times, materials and combinations
which wouldn’t work.”
--Thomas Edison

4. Improve - Learn from
your users, especially ones
who do what you don’t
expect
25. Some hints
5. If you’re really building a platform, your
customers and partners build new features
before you do
26. Some hints
6. Build a culture of measurement
• If it works, do more of it.
• If it doesn’t, stop doing it.
• Build systems that respond automatically to user
stimuli.
27. Some hints
7. Don’t reinvent the wheel. There are platform
tools you can use
