Federal Government Launches Apps.Gov

October 14, 2009

On September 22, Vivek Kundra, the federal CIO, announced the launch of Apps.Gov, a website offering governmentally approved cloud computing applications, in the hopes of phasing out the government’s current, more expensive and difficult software. Cloud computing software is a model in which software is distributed virtually, instead of being installed individually on PCs or local servers. The storefront will be run by the General Services Administration, and consists of a variety of business applications, productivity software, and much more.

Even though Kundra admits that this will be a gradual process, he appears confident that the plan will increase government efficiency and allow the government to “buy smarter” during these difficult economic times. The reduced prices and energy efficiency that this website offers, affords the federal government the same benefits of technological advances that private citizens enjoy daily.

The unveiling was attended by the executives of companies offering these cloud computing services, including: Google, Microsoft, Adobe Systems, Facebook, and Vimeo. All of the executives showed great excitement at the prospect of gaining the U.S. government as customer.

This development is consistent with the Obama administration’s dedication to updating the government’s technology systems, which in turn should greatly reduce the enormous budget of federal I.T. (which has been estimated to be $75 billion).

    Buildings are quite expensive and not every person can buy it. Nevertheless, credit loans are created to support people in such hard situations.
