Any non-trivial application or business service is a composite application. Composite applications assemble functional building blocks into the solution using technology like SOA, workflow management and business processes, and portals or mashups. Composite application design diagrams are very similar to supply chain diagrams. Enterprise IT will evolve from a primarily on-premise “factory” model to a cloud service supply chain. This presentation will explain the IT supply chain concept and the role of software-as-a-service, platform-as-a-service, infrastructure-as-a-service and the programmable web. The explanation will include:
- The value to businesses.
- A reference architecture for application development, deployment, delivery and optimization.
- A brief description of CA’s direction and products for the IT supply chain.
The talk will conclude by identifying challenges and opportunities to realize the vision.

Interview with Rob Gittings, PWC at UP 2010 Cloud Computing Conference

Presenters: David L. McClure, Associate Administrator of Citizen Services at U.S. General Services Administration and Mark A. Forman, Partner at KPMG and Former U.S. Administrator for E-Government and IT
Date and Time: 09:00 - 10:00 EST Day 2 - Tuesday, November 16, 2010
Abstract:
Cloud computing models offer governments a wide variety of opportunities to cut costs, improve operations, provide transparency, and engage citizens. New term successes range from Recovery.gov being rapidly deployed at a fraction of the cost of typical government IT projects to City governments’ crowdsourcing development of applications. Security and privacy concerns are important and at the forefront of public sector Cloud computing strategies. Tight budgets are accelerating the movement of governments to multiple cloud initiatives. This presentation will discuss security, privacy, sourcing, and other priorities for government in moving to the cloud. It will include case studies of current cloud initiatives, including what, when, how and why those initiatives are achieving success.
