Cloud Computing: Serving the Integrated Enterprise

Mobility and an array of related technologies have turned agencies into de facto distributed enterprises, with employees expecting to access data and services from wherever they need to work, whether on the road, at home, or even just across campus. Fortunately, cloud makes it possible for agencies to extend the enterprise without compromising on security or manageability. In this webcast, Patrick Stingley, CTO for the Bureau of Land Management at the Department of the Interior, will discuss how this can be done. In particular, he will talk about how to architect the enterprise to take full advantage of cloud capabilities and realize significant cost-savings.

Topics to be addressed include:

• The role of business process modeling in the transition to the cloud, with a focus on eliminating data stovepipes
• Strategies for mitigating potential bandwidth problems and improving network redundancy
• Opportunities for dramatically reducing costs of supporting end-user devices
