Government agencies can actually take benefit of creating individual clouds and sync them by creating interconnected clouds and meet larger demands related to workforce, simplified operations and reduced costs.After years of exploring, US government seem to be finally ready for federal cloud adoption, for dual benefit of cost saving and the multiplicity of cloud solutions available for IT operations.

2. For years now, across the world, Governments have been arduously
working on making their e-governance effective. This of course has a
bearing on operation, introducing technology in every avenue of
Government business, training people and converting all the existing data
to digital data.
For maintaining the massive data that Government deals with, is quite a
task because of which, even to this day big economies like China, India,
Russia and United States of America have lot left to do. Organising
data and creating secure systems and preventing data miners and
hackers from accessing intelligence is also quite a challenge for not just
big economies but nations worldwide.
Governments can benefit from Cloud

3. One of the major concerns however for the Governments is also building
infrastructure and managing them. The investment in this regard is quite
gigantic.
Since the dawn of technology dispersion, Governments have been
painstakingly trying to diffuse the latest advents into the system. ICT
development is one of the significant measures taken by Governments
across nations. The primary motive however is to make information
delivery and accessibility much simpler, increasing transparency. Swelling
city population, increasing demand for various services and increasing
data is creating a lot of pressure on the Governments. To strike a
balance between meeting demand and financial consistence is imperative
and the solution for exactly such concern is provided by CLOUD.

4. The financial benefit of the cloud is pretty obvious, what is more
important is to learn how Cloud can be the alma mater of the large
volumes of data. Cloud solutions can offer more than lower operating
costs, it can provide on-demand access to organise data, ensure powerful
computing, storage, networking and access to management tools with
heightened security, confidentiality and integrity of data systems.
The foremost feature that is critical to the Government is to archive
large volume of data and efficiently access various data in real time,
which is enabled by Cloud.
What can Cloud do?

6. How Government could Benefit?
After years of exploring, US government seem to be finally
ready for federal cloud adoption, for dual benefit of cost saving
and the multiplicity of cloud solutions available for IT operations.
Kevin Plexico, Vice President for information solutions at Deltek
shared: “federal agencies will spend approximately $5.4 billion on cloud-related
software, $4.5 billion on cloud-based infrastructure, and $477 million on cloud
platforms by 2017”.in the Cloud/Gov IT conference 2013 .
The agencies will be able to effectively focus on ‘the Data’
rather than woe about the technology inconsistencies, as Cloud
deployments have offered effective solutions for issues related
to infrastructure management. Cloud deployments are also
increasing efficiency as the agencies are able to handle volumes
of data better.

7. How Government could Benefit?
Government agencies can take benefit of
creating individual clouds and sync them by
creating interconnected clouds and meet larger
demands related to workforce, simplified
operations and reduced costs. By adopting
cloud based solutions and deploying cloud
strategies, Government can change the way
the services are delivered.
Cloud computing simplifies services, however
prior to adopting cloud the Government has to
ensure high level of confidence in virtualisation
and strategize for security of data. Plan data
classification on confidential intelligence and
others and have the service provider deploy a
secure strategy.
The primary risk involved in cloud computing is
security. A security is created on Cloud through
password protection on the network. The
strength of the user-created password is as
effective as the practices of the individuals
managing the networks. To manage such risk it
is important to compartmentalise the cloud
system to limit user access and manage by
avoiding outsourcing. By creating system-wide
server, a greater amount of security could be
ensured.

8. Gravity of Cloud computing and E-
Governance...
Cloud Computing can optimise the IT infrastructure and add newer
services and provide solutions for ongoing storage needs at a reduced
cost. Cloud computing also results in decreased software and application
maintenance, while improving asset utilization. It also will increase agility
in service delivery aiding to increase in real time response and effective
workflow collaborations across different agencies.

9. Gravity of Cloud computing and E-
Governance...
More importantly, the Government can resolve many issues related to
efficiency, time and create a platform for the people to share their
grievance and for agencies to redress them effectively. E-Governance is
imperative for any Government on face of the earth today and switching
to cloud thus makes eminent sense.
