Apps.gov Cloud Computing Site Offers Phase 2 Products

Phase 2 International announced that its portfolio of Software as a Service (SaaS) applications is now available on the federal government's Apps.gov Website.

Among the first on the new site-and the first to offer IBM/Lotus applications via Apps.gov-Phase 2's portfolio of SaaS business software is now easier than ever for government clients to access and use to succeed.

Apps.gov is an online store for government agencies that are required to use the GSA schedule. The site was designed to help them to find, purchase and use SaaS and other cloud computing services with the knowledge that they have already been screened, and government prices negotiated. All applications available on the site, including the full Phase 2 portfolio, are GSA approved for use by federal agencies.

"This important new resource for government agencies further proves that SaaS and other cloud computing applications and resources are no longer the wave of the future - they're recognized as being the best solution now," said Kevin Doherty, Phase 2 CEO. "We're thrilled to be at the center of it - with our SaaS products available on Apps.gov-as President Obama's progressive initiatives for technology accessibility are being reached. These productivity-enhancing applications make as much sense for government as they do for businesses."

According to the Apps.gov Website, "Cloud computing plays a key role in the President's initiative to modernize Information Technology (IT) by identifying enterprise-wide common services and solutions and adopting a new cloud-computing business model. The Federal CIO Council under the guidance of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Federal Chief Information Officer (CIO), Vivek Kundra, established the Cloud Computing Initiative to fulfill the President's objectives for cloud computing."

Phase 2 International delivers scalable access to business software applications via a Software as a Service-SaaS-model.
