Cloud computing will enable government agencies to pay per-use for ICT products and services delivered through networks, rather than maintain their own ICT infrastructure.
“Cloud computing is an exciting, emerging technology which will contribute directly to better public services, promote innovation, and substantially reduce costs,” says Mr Tremain.
“There are many opportunities for implementing cloud-based services across public sector agencies. The first will be cloud-based office productivity services like email, spreadsheets and word processing, which will improve consistency and enable much better collaboration between agencies.
“Cloud technology will also provide immediate access to the latest software versions, updates, and patches. It will create economies of scale that can help foster innovation and take advantage of new technologies as they become available.
“This allows services to be developed much more quickly by using cloud-based technologies on demand, rather than going through a long development and implementation time frame. Using ICT as a service allows immediate access, customisation and quick implementation.
“These technologies are pervasively changing the nature of ICT service delivery across the world. Cloud technologies can significantly change the way the public sector operates, enabling the provision of better public services for all New Zealanders.”
