WSO2 to Present Technical Webinar on Moving eGovernment to the Cloud

WSO2 Webinar on August 15, Examines a Cloud Architectural Approach for Distributed Organizations to Optimize Scalability, Minimize Costs, and Ensure Governance and Security Palo Alto, CA – August 8, 2012 – Today eGovernment promises a means for cost effectively delivering information and enabling transactions among the citizens residing within a local geography, as well as the different governmental groups supporting them. However, the role of eGovernment has been limited by the inherent cost and complexity of integrating and managing traditional server-based systems. To address this challenge, WSO2 will present a free webinar on how government agencies can harness the cloud to radically scale the delivery of services while minimizing the expenses related to IT infrastructure, application development and deployment, and operations. The one-hour technical session, “Moving eGovernment to the Cloud," is being held twice on Wednesday, August 15: 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. PDT for the Americas and 10:00 a.m.– 11:00 a.m. GMT for Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Moving eGovernment to the Cloud The webinar will explore an architectural approach for maintaining a central platform-as-a-service (PaaS) that works in concert with local private cloud platforms to efficiently leverage computing resources across platforms and locations—while ensuring proper governance. The session also will examine how this architectural model works equally well in the government and in the private sector among enterprises with multiple locations.
