It’s an exciting time to be in government. Technology promises to revolutionize civil service, linking citizens to elected officials and improving efficiency. The Gov 2.0 movement introduces transparency, and gives everyone access to powerful IT infrastructure—from the smallest municipalities to the world’s largest nations.
Worldwide, governments are the top buyers of IT, so vendors are clamoring to meet their needs with a range of new cloud offerings. But clouds also pose real risks to privacy. Legislation is unclear, and you can’t afford to take chances with data. So how do you strike a balance?

Some of the largest non-governmental organizations turn to us for advice, and we’ve helped cities and national governments shape a cloud strategy that gives them fast, agile IT while mitigating the perils and uncertainties of new technology.
