Thank you to all that participated in yesterday’s ICH Agile Cloud Service Catalog event.   

ICH Agile Cloud is an industry-wide effort targeted at developing an open and inclusive cloud service brokerage environment capable of rapidly provisioning innovative technologies to the US Government on a fee for service basis. This cloud services environment will favor existing commercial services over custom development, will incorporate industry standards and will enforce a consistent implementation environment.  Yesterday’s event focused on the development of the Agile Cloud Environment Service Catalog. The meeting featured presentations from GSA, US Navy and US Army  on their desires and expectations with regard to the postulated cloud services. Other Government attendees also contributed their views and recommendations. Industry attendees also engaged in many informative and instructional exchanges. Presentations from the conference are provided below.
