    This is a great collection of must know things for government. A couple of months ago I had written a post that was geared towards what SaaS vendors should in preparation of selling to the government http://www.prudentcloud.com/saas/saas-government-20062009/. Hope it will give your readers the other side of the story.

    Subraya,
    Your blog post is also interesting. With more adoption of cloud computing/ SaaS it seems that some of the objections are going away or at least being reduced. Cities like LA going with Google help support cloud computing. Read this story with comments about what happens if there is a security breach http://www.internetnews.com/software/article.php/3845876
