Join us on April 16, 2013 at 1 PM EDT to remove the mystery surrounding Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) for Federal Government
The PaaS market is plagued with confusion, and agencies are slow to adopt technologies that they do not fully understand. With the high costs of software development, the Government stands to save billions of dollars by adopting PaaS and other cloud technologies. The Federal CIO’s office suggests that Shared Platforms will improve efficiencies by building once and using many times – but what does that mean to Federal buyers?
This FREE event will help Federal Government better understand PaaS to make better decisions and facilitate adoption. Please join distinguished panelists (from NIST, GSA, NASA, Cisco, NJVC and Dell) as we attempt to demystify the topic of Platform as a Service (PaaS) for Government.
The format will be one hour with 5 minutes presentations by each of five panelists, followed by dynamic Q&A. The format will be similar to the recent ‘Shared Cloud Services in Government’ event, in which panelists from GSA, NIST, the Canadian Cloud Council and Industry helped raise awareness to the Federal cloud computing community about Shared Services in Government.
This event is hosted by FedPlatform.org (www.fedplatform.org) and sponsored by NJVC’s Cloudcuity team (www.cloudcuity.com). We look forward to “seeing” you there!

    I almost never drop responses, but after looking
    at a few of the responses on "Demystifying PaaS for Federal Government".
    I actually do have 2 questions for you if you do not mind.
    Could it be simply me or does it look as if like a few of these responses come across like they are left by brain
    dead individuals? 😛 And, if you are posting at additional places,
    I'd like to keep up with you. Would you make a list of the complete urls of your public sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
