“Cloud first”
Part of new federal IT strategy
Economic value of both larger scale and
commodity services
Application architectures being refined and
evolved to include mobility as key element
With Droid, iPhone, iPad, and others coming
the demand for quick location/download of
useful applications is soaring
Larger tablet
-
style devices may be coming
Days of monolithic, LAN
-
connected, proprietary
enterprise software applications are numbered
Mobile security is becoming more important
Ability to “wipe clean” or lock mobile devices remotely
New ways to extend enterprise “LAN” for users that
would previously be “off the network”
Applications will need to assume access by a far
wider range of devices and user interfaces that are
likely connected remotely from somewhere on the
internet and probably via a wireless connection
Consumer expectation that more IT can be
provided and charged based on utilization,
not allocation
Mixed with cloud computing, this will begin
to undercut many software licensing models
Pay for what you use, not for what you
might
use
Some confusion about “cloud computing”
(public, private, hybrid)
Many roles will need to
shift and adapt
CIO
System administrators
Application developers (starting developments
using cloud environment will be important)
Support functions
May be a growing focus by users on cost and
transparency of IT services
Expectation of faster response and more
dynamic offerings (more later)
Ability to access information quickly including
use of “mash
-
ups”
A mash
-
up is a web page or application that combines
data, presentation, or functionality from two or more
sources to create new services
May be less confusion about “cloud”!
Ability to order services (compute, storage,
backups, even applications) quickly without
capital outlay is very appealing

Integration of data may not be as important
Low cost and quick provisioning may greatly
outweigh security concerns, data integration
requirements, single

sign on, etc.
Applications that will have a long “life” in this
new IT world will need to be
cloud
-
ready
Can scale to take advantage of more resources,
some of which might be available across a hybrid
cloud environment
Applications will need to recognize and
support a wider array of mobile devices and
access interfaces
Manual operations will be stressed and forced
to automate
Self
-
service, on
-
demand model will prevail
Dynamic sourcing pressures
IT must figure out how to add/subtract resources
(compute, storage, network, etc.) as needed
Application demands will soar
Where is my data stored in a cloud
-
based
environment?
Is my data co
-
mingled with other agencies
and companies?
Is the hosted or cloud environment secure
and well
-
managed?
App Store Effect
“I want to download these applications from the online
store and them have them linked together as a new
application. Can you help me?”
Based on business need (procurement, business
intelligence, product design, R&D support) there will
be a demand for faster and more inter

connected
applications
Acceptance of large (and expensive) ERP
-
level
software suites may not be sustainable
E
-
mail is primary business application
Outside of work,
Facebook
is becoming the
primary application
At some point use of social networking tools at
work will become more accepted and
commonplace
But what about mixing work, home, and
personal interests together?
Facebook accounts (as an example) would
contain mix of communications
Will social networking companies further
recognize/address this issue?
Many employees may want to share personal
and social network information in a work
context
Expect to collaborate with work colleagues
(and friends) globally
Not to be confined to a small network of
contacts within their specific area
Expect to co
-
create and work to solve real
business problems
Currently 18% of world’s population
Communication takes place on the internet
and mostly via online communities
Very impatient and desire instant results
Might be poor communicators
More openness to sharing personal
information
Wide cross
-
linking of information in coming
years will provide interesting aggregations of
personal and professional information
Identity management importance will
continue to grow and will leverage cross
