"The Federal Government’s current Information Technology (IT) environment is characterized by low asset utilization, a fragmented demand for resources, duplicative systems, environments which are difficult to manage, and long procurement lead times.

The cloud computing model can significantly help agencies grappling with the need to provide highly reliable, innovative services quickly despite resource constraints."
