Cloud Computing in Government
Governments around the world are adapting to the way public and private sectors are consuming data, and the heavy reliance on digital sources for information and services. Countries are scaling up e-government citizen services and establishing digital economy development plans.
Cloud computing technology will serve as one of the key enablers for this transition that helps deliver government services in a more agile, faster, and cost effective channel.
Moving government systems into a cloud environment and integrating its full capabilities into new digital solutions can help future-proof the public service.
What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources, such as networks, servers, storage, applications, and services, that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.
The move from on-premise solutions toward cloud solutions (cloud deployment) can be a gradual process and different options are available, including private cloud, hybrid cloud, and public cloud deployments.
Benefits of Cloud Computing
Cost Savings
Cost savings is one major benefit of cloud computing.
By utilizing the cloud when more space or computing is needed, software and systems hosted on cloud will be updates frequently without hefty maintenance costs.
Flexibility
The flexibility enables government have less worries about limited resources, such as servers and hardware, software updates, data security.
It is easier to add and change services without the hassle of adding or removing digital space. Cloud computing enables better risk management procedures in which can be executed in a smaller time frame.
Scalability and Performance
Cloud technology is designed to be scaled to meet government’s changing IT needs and requirements.
When requirement grows, more storage space and bandwidth will be required to cope with increasing traffic.
Cloud servers can be deployed automatically to help businesses scale up and down and ensure optimum performance under heavy loads.
Cloud technology also improves system’s speed and minimises downtime.
Collaboration
Cloud technology helps increase collaboration between government agencies. It removes the communication limitations of traditional IT models and makes it much quicker and easier for employees working in different locations to access information and collaborate with team members and key personnel.
This helps to streamline processes and means more work gets done in less time.
