GSA's Casey Coleman on Federal Government IT
Dion Hinchcliffe and Michael Krigsman interview General Services Administration (GSA) CIO Casey Coleman about IT leadership, cloud computing, Web 2.0, and innovation in the federal government.
Some quick bytes:
Cloud Computing is a priority of this Administration
Interested in SaaS for Financial and HR type solutions
Over time we believe the policy framework needs to advance as technology continues to move forward
We [GSA] must be very business like in our delivery of services
See Web 2.0 services enabling us to better serve our customers
One of the main values of Web 2.0 is collaboration
Seen an ambrace of Web 2.0 in GSA and Federal Government
We're never going to have one cloud as a solution for the Federal Government
Only 20% of budget goes into new and innovative technologies - 80% is for maintenance
Around 40/45% of Government IT infrastructure is at a FISMA rating of low - potential candidates for cloud
Some on Casey Coleman's views on Cloud computing check out the session below from the Gov 2.0 Summit in September:
