“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
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
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
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?
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
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
