Cloud Models - Execution for the Digital Age

Cloud Solutions De-Composed

Physical Types

We know there are public, private and hybrid.
We know the National Institute for Standards Technology defines the cloud with three components
  • Platform as a Service - PaaS
  • Infrastructure as a Service - IaaS
  • Software as a Service - SaaS

Getting the eRate program into action

A show enabling reality TV as the world takes a people centered design strategy into action revitalizing cities through those with the greatest need, putting people to work in the newest technologies. 

Voice, Video and Data

We need to outfit our communities for the 21st century
  • When video conferencing first hit the market we were running on fax speed communication lines
    • It took nearly 3 years to build out the infrastructure
  • We have yet to adapt for video at 400 lines of resolution 
    • HDTV is pushing 1100 lines of resolution
  • We are also sharing lines with data and voice
    • Before the new millenium we noticed quality and intermittent failures that we traced to data and video sharing the same lines 
    • We have yet to adopt a dedicated data, dedicated voice and dedicated video delivery.
      • Let's not be concerned with the fact that we CANNOT encrypt data on a shared video line
      • Let's not be concerned that video does a burst behavior that requires us to lower the detection on the behavior to operate normally, exposing ourselves to evil insiders and outside threats. 
      • Let's not be concerned that turning on video then turning off allows a back door through the same feed when you use ACL's or API's, then of course we don't want to lose sleep of machine to machine tunneling.  

We need to upgrade our schools

  • Some of the nations most violent attacks have been children against children 
    • We need better visibility into these threats before they escalate-prevention is the best remedy to combat violence.
    • We must do things differently and the time is now. 

Adopting a single record for every consumer - extending our view to customers and suppliers.   

We know there are different size companies with different risk appetites.


  • We need the ability to adapt and recover in various models based on size and liability
    • Enterprise size companies - Hybrid and Private cloud
      • Global Footprint
      • Unique and Complex
    • Federal -Hybrid, Private and Public Cloud Publisher
      • National - Footprint
      • Sponsors - Service Providers
      • Unique and highly sensitive
    • Small and Medium-Public Cloud
      •  Common Approach makes the solution viable and sustainable
    • Retail -Public Cloud
      • Consumer business model

Person Centered Design 


We know we must do technology differently
  • People centered services enable scale, resilience, and sustainability 
    • Consumers have chosen - simply look at the UN-reachable audience and the direct connections to those same people for years we had no way to reach these consumers.

Public Sentiment "a Public Officials Liabilities"

Measure the current process and duplication of customers or contacts in your databases.  Every duplicate record represents a threat to the person who's being duplicated. 



  • Go from pull to push using lean six sigma in government and industry.
    • We can measure the number of times we collect information from a variety of sources. 









      Using GIS systems to segment our audience for a single record and an ability to manage a people centered design.
