Decision framework for building platform as a service (PaaS) based government services

PaaS is the operating environment of the cloud with the tools you need on demand to create and host online services, software, Web sites, and mobile applications. With PaaS, you can concentrate on delivering applications rather than on the underlying infrastructure, which a service provider maintains and updates in its data centers. With PaaS, government can develop new applications or services in the cloud that do not depend on a specific platform to run, and you can make them widely available to users through the Internet.
