Utilizing Cloud Computing in public sector cases from the world

Abstract

© 2017 IEEE. E-government success requires leadership, huge funds and efforts to overcome the challenges faced by governments especially in developing countries. Cloud computing is an option that can provide governments with lower infrastructure costs and less initial investment than proprietary systems. Other benefits like scalability and flexibility will make cloud computing a tempting option. On the other hand, many challenges face the adoption of such option besides the perception of low control and risks of privacy and security breaches. This paper explored cases from the world for implementing cloud computing in areas like education, evoting, healthcare, lab management, army and other areas.
