 The penetration of cloud computing in Governmental
bodies (public administrations, municipalities etc) is low
 The complexity of the ‘required’ applications is
continuously increasing
 Shift from dynamic portals to collaborative
applications
 Diverse development stacks
 Many new services tend to be even cross-border e.g.
 exchange of civil registry certificates
 exchange of personal data

3. www.strategic-project.eu
CIP-ICT-PSP-2013-7 Page 3
 Cross-border applications generate additional technical
requirements
 Identity management
• Proposed Solution: usage of STORK
 Secure attribute exchange
• Proposed Solution: usage of SEMIRAMIS
 As a result there is an increased need for a Cloud
Orchestrator which will be able to:
 Store and instantiate complex governmental
applications (reusability)
 Provide proper governance (multi-IaaS environments)
