Dataline, Booz|Allen|Hamilton and the Government Cloud Computing Community have teamed together to sponsor the 2nd Government Cloud Computing Survey. Cloud Computing has come a long way since the first survey six months ago, so we are once again asking for your thoughts on this exciting new approach to technology. The rare examples of just a few months ago have turned into a large number of exciting cloud-based deployments including:
  • GovDelivery for mass email and wireless notices to the public (50+ governmental organizations across 25 states and 13 federal departments) 
  • DC Government use of Google Apps for their 38,000+ employees for email, document collaboration, intranet, and calendars.
  • Census and Human Genome project data stored in the Amazon cloud
  • Acquisition solutions at 65 separate government agencies
  • Financial tracking at the State Department using Salesforce.com
Please give us your views, thoughts and plans through the survey at https://www.dataline.com/survey.html   . Results will be made available through this blog and the SOA-Ring and Government Cloud Computing Community wikis.
