Cloud computing has the potential to play a major part in addressing these inefficiencies and improving government service delivery. The cloud computing model can significantly help agencies grappling with the need to provide highly reliable, innovative services quickly despite resource constraints.”

These words heralded the start of the US Federal Government’s Cloud First policy. It also turned out to be the start of a global trend towards the adoption of cloud computing services by governments around the world….”
