As technology develops and advances, it impacts how business is conducted - and it may have an impact on public procurement and contracting. One of the emerging trends of technology relates to cloud computing, in which data is stored on remote servers operated by others.
Eileen Youens is a Texas-based attorney and public procurement consultant. I've communicated with Eileen over the years and had the chance to meet her when I was in Texas last year providing consultant advice to a contractor there. Eileen has written a timely, clear, and thought-provoking blog post on "Public Procurement in the Cloud." She addresses the following topics in her article:- Explains what cloud computing is
- Addresses how cloud computing might apply to public procurement
- Outlines 5 concerns with cloud-based public procurement
- Offers 5 suggestions for exploring and implementing cloud-based public procurement
Technology will continue to change how we work. Eileen's blog post is a great introduction to how cloud computing may impact public procurement and contracting in the years ahead. It's worth reading and thinking about. Click here to read it.
