At a time when cuts across the public sector continue to loom ever larger on the horizon, Woodson Martin, vice president of strategy EMEA at Cloud Computing vendor, Salesforce.com, enthused how Cloud Computing could help bring about efficiencies in the sector.
"The ability to serve up that information through rich internet experiences over the public Cloud will create opportunities for all levels of government to really start to deploy some very impactful applications for their constituents."
"There is certainly room for companies like Salesforce.com; we’ve been working with governments around the world, such as the Obama transition team in US just before the inauguration."
"If you look back at just the last year and a half, and look at what has been by any definition a relatively tough business climate and see the adoption and enthusiasm around the Cloud model in the commercial sector, I think you’re seeing these things play out in the public sector."
