EU must look to the cloud for IT strategy

PS - Public Service Europe - The European Commission can learn a great deal from the British government's new IT strategy and its focus on open source, the cloud and small suppliers – Graham Taylor argues.

Last week, the British government published its long-awaited IT strategy. It comes after a string of announcements by senior officials all pointing in the same direction. What we have is a well-articulated plan, backed up by a series of promises on specific actions that give us confidence that previous fine words will now be matched by delivery.
