This document discusses how cloud computing can increase efficiency and innovation in the public sector. It defines the types of cloud services including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). The document notes that while vendors hype cloud technology, IaaS offers real benefits by virtualizing hardware. Case studies show how governments can leverage cloud computing to focus on solutions rather than hardware. The cloud also allows countries with poor infrastructure to have reliable data centers. Finally, the document discusses how innovative countries are using cloud technology as the base for mobile services.

- 4. Leveraging the Cloud for the Public Sector Allows government teams to focus on solutions rather than hardware acquisition If clean data underlies the offering it is much more valuable Challenge: Governments tend to measure IT value in the value of hard assets on their books. Data and solutions are much more valuable, but less tangible. Challenge: Cloud services are typically not capitalizable Allows countries with poor infrastructure to have reliable data centers with backups. Only constraint is internet access, and mobility is eliminating that as well.
