Apps.gov – Overview and Resources for SIIA Member Participation

Written by David LeDuc, SIIA

About Apps.gov

In September 2009, the Federal Government launched Apps.gov to streamline application adoption at federal agencies, billed by U.S. CIO Vivek Kundra as the Federal Government’s one-stop source for cloud services.  The site is the federal agency storefront for approved cloud computing applications, including business applications, cloud services, productivity apps and social media software.

While the process is streamlined from the difficult procurement process that can slow down deployment of technology, many software companies that have not been doing business with the Government—particularly small and medium-sized companies—have still raised questions about participating in Apps.gov.

To facilitate participation by member companies, SIIA has compiled the following information and resources.  Also, if there is significant interest among members, SIIA will seek to setup a webcast to review these details and to take questions from members.  If you have additional questions or would like to discuss this, please contact David LeDuc at dleduc@siia.net .
