US government embraces Salesforce.com’s cloud computing model
Enterprise cloud computing company Salesforce.com announced recently that hundreds of government organizations in the United States, including more than half of federal cabinet-level departments, have already adopted its cloud computing services.
It has also received the US General Services Administration (GSA) moderate level authority to operate, consistent with Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) requirements.
“Salesforce.com sees a tremendous opportunity for the government to harness the power of cloud computing,” said Marc Benioff, chairman and CEO, salesforce.com. “We are delivering the same customer success to the public sector that we have brought to the private sector over the last 12 years.”
According to Salesforce.com, the Obama administration’s Cloud First Policy is driving government adoption of cloud computing. Cloud technologies are being used to deliver a broad range of services from grants management to electronic medical records and constituent-facing websites to contact centers.
State and local government agencies, like New Jersey Transit, Arlington Economic Development and Chicago Housing Authority, have also seen tremendous success with salesforce.com, it added.
“The benefits the US government stands to gain from secure enterprise public clouds are enormous," said Vivek Kundra, US Chief Information Officer. "The Commission on the Leadership Opportunity in US Deployment of the Cloud (CLOUD2) will help advance cloud computing in the public sector.”
Benioff co-Chairs CLOUD2 Commission founded by the TechAmerica Foundation to provide the Obama administration with recommendations for how government should deploy cloud technologies and to help drive public policies that will deliver US innovation in the cloud.
