My name is Tim




I explain technology…
to people who don’t understand it…
people who think
they do understand it…
people who despise it…
and people who worship it.
…that help people understand how
technology might help their Organisation…

In Technical Terms
 •I’m a Webservice –
 •Sitting between the Technical Teams and the
 Business Teams, translating and relating
 between them..
 •With Plenty of SOAP and REST....


Turn that noise off, can’t you see I’m busy…
keep your silly ideas to yourself - I’ve got a
job to do!

Can Cloud Computing
     transform
   Government?
Not all Clouds are good!
Open Government?

“If people don’t know what you’re doing, they
don’t know what you’re doing wrong”

“Jim Hacker”
Open Government (I980)
Cloud is forcing Change
With or Without the Owners / Shareholders
So far ICT has not fundamentally
        changed government
                                                • 1990s: lCT expected
                                                  to make government
                                                  more transparent,
                                                  efficient and user
                                                  oriented
                                                • 2005+: disillusion as
                                                  bureaucracy still in
                                                  existence
                                                • Can Cloud Help?


Jane E. Fountain – Gov 1.0 – Just Replicating the Silos on the Internet
Goverment dont always Understand
     What the people Want?
What governments often Deliver
Why have we not done so well?

 It is unfortunate that the first 3
 letters of eGovernment are…
Security is changing
• Security has to be appropriate
• Security has to be measured
• Can have things so secure that they are
  unusable.

Moving to the Cloud?

1. Leaving your apartment!




                             2. Moving your Data
Barriers
 Psychological Barriers
    Platform Lock-In, Dependence, Governance
 Security
    Compliance
    Costs
 Application Architecture
      How do we design applications lo take advantage of the cloud?
      Grow and shnnk on-demand (scalability)
      Data affinity
      Portability
      Efficiency
      Performance
      Fault-tolerance and self-healing
Positives
 Scale
 Cost
   CAPEX
   OPEX
 Advance Architecture
   Agility
   Cost - Clouds are renowned for being dirt cheap
    for storage and burst-y processing.
   Elasticity - Growth and shrinkage
Negatives
 Security & Privacy
     . Conflicts with international laws?
   Where is my Data - Is it safe?
   For Whom and at what level?
   Regulatory compliance:
   Interoperability
   Lack of control
   Standardisation
   SLA ( Model T Ford)
Dark Cloud?
              Letter from CSSO
Challenges
 Organisational barriers (Silo mentality)
 Reliability (service outage)
 Definition of SLAs (Service Level Agreement)
 Service management, Monitoring
 Customisation / Integration with other
  applications
If you are going to do it..
1. Understand the options and technologies
2. Have a look at what you do..
3. If its complex inside the firewall…Rationalize
   infrastructure & applications
4. leverage SOA for applications, appropriate
   standards, governance
5. Identify the costs per user - Compare costs with
   internal hosting.
6. Start with Open Data… no arguments here….
…We have come a long way...
Understanding the Adoption Curve
Pilot for Success

• Still not fixed in the Enterprise…
• Or on the Internet..

• Cross Border data Transfer, etc
why is Crowd and Cloud sourcing
          important?
   Crowd Source –
   Group Collaboration is
   more powerful than
   individual achievement

What do Clouds currently not do?
• Anything subject to compliancy
  – Includes PCI-compliant applications
• Apps that call back to performance sensitive
  services in your data centre
• Apps that require tight coupling between
  instances
• Sensitive Data
• Large applications that don’t fit inside VMs
    Is there anything they can’t do?
Cloud conclusions
•   Government cannot ignore cloud
•   Public Cloud and Big Data
•   Public Cloud and Open Data
•   SLA needs to be more Open
