A big THANK YOU goes out today to KCUR-FM Central Standard host Jabulani Leffall, producer Matthew Long-Middleton,and associate producer Danie Alexander for having me as a guest on this morning's show!
Today the focus was on the US Government's mandate that federal agencies consider cloud computing as they make new IT investments. Along with Joe Tierney from Umzuzu, a Kansas City cloud service company, we discussed cloud computing benefits and challenges. I also had the opportunity to discuss my new book, GovCloud II: Implementation and Cloud Brokerage Services.
