42. Piloting the social web How can your program benefit from piloting a social web initiative on the cloud?
43. Rapid provisioning and deployment Since core technology is already in place, you can focus more on rapid adoption by end users and citizens, and less on the technology enablers.
44. Scalable, on demand capabilities Scalability means flexibility. As usage changes, a SaaS environment can adapt. The cost incurred is for the amount of service used; no sunk costs for unused hardware or software.
45.
46. Pay only for the services used, no unused license overhead

Most cloud technologies were built from the ground up to be highly scalable, both from the software perspective and the hardware perspective. For end users, this high level of scalability means that rapid expansion of technology requirements doesn’t require the engagement of inhouse IT operations. Scalability is effectively outsourced.
