Federal Funds Flow to the Cloud

The U.S. General Services Administration selected more than a dozen companies to provide cloud-based information technology products for federal agencies last month, signaling a concrete investment in the cloud environment and underscoring the federal commitment to using the technology. GSA said it would make a total of $122 million available for two programs. “Cloud computing services help to deliver on this administration’s commitment to provide better value for the American taxpayer by making government more efficient,” said Federal Chief Information Officer Vivek Kundra.
