Google & Microsoft Pitch Cloud Computing To Feds

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

Yesterday in Washington, government officials held a hearing to examining the benefits and risks of the federal government’s transition to cloud computing.

The hearing, held by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and the Subcommittee on Government Management, Organization, and Procurement, featured federal CIO Vivek Kundra and other government IT leaders, Carnegie Mellon University professor Gregory Ganger, and representatives from EMC, Google, Microsoft, and Salesforce.com.

Mike Bradshaw, director of Google’s federal government group, said that cloud computing can improve security, save tax dollars, and improve efficiency and collaboration.
