Abstract
Cloud is a disruptive wave in information technology (IT), much like the mainframe, PC, and internet waves preceding it. As with the past disruptive waves, Cloud promises great potential and significant risks for IT leaders in the US Federal Government. Federal Agencies spend $80B annually developing, modifying, and sustaining over 12,000 IT systems using traditional (non-Cloud) information technology (IT) methods. Cloud offers US Federal Agencies the potential to reduce costs while improving their capabilities.
