Why is Oakland County embracing cloud computing technology?

The ‘Cloud’ represents the next generation evolution of the shared applications and technology that has been used by the County for more than 35 years. Through cloud computing we can position our applications in cyberspace, making them available to government agencies regardless of size, budget or resources available. The same advanced technology solutions that Oakland County uses will be available to other governments for use in the ‘cloud’.
 
Cloud computing has helped local governments by:
  • Creating an opportunity to use technology that may not otherwise be within reach
  • Providing government-managed technology solutions that ensure reliability, security and privacy protection for government data
  • Eliminating infrastructure requirements or upfront costs
  • Providing a centrally-managed information system that reduces redundancy
  • Improving accuracy and consistency of measurement and analysis of technology services
  • Improving collaboration and workflows among participants
