That’s the premise behind our new 21 Steps to the Cloud infographic, which offers a relatively painless way to ease into the new Guide to Cloud Procurements from e.Republic’s Center for Digital Government. The guide is an extensive collection of model contract language, guiding principles and recommendations designed to help government agencies get better at buying cloud-based services.
That’s a pretty big deal, especially as more agencies attempt to take advantage of cloud-based software, platforms and infrastructure. Traditional contracting language developed for buying products doesn’t always work for buying hosted services and the clash between old contracting methods and new cloud solutions is costing agencies time and money, and is keeping them from adopting the latest industry solutions.
21 Steps to the Cloud offers a quick look at key cloud contracting recommendations, and points out a few potential pitfalls. And when you’re ready to dig into the full report, it’ll be waiting for you right here.
