IT staff for Omaha, Nebraska, and its surrounding Douglas County are in the midst of moving their government websites to the cloud, as part of a broader effort to make their web offerings more user friendly and more stable.
The Douglas-Omaha Technology Commission — the group of IT leaders that manages services for the city and the county — has now moved roughly 50 of the websites it manages to the Amazon Web Services cloud, according to Vijay Badal, the commission’s director of application services. In all, Badal told StateScoop that he expects the commission will spend the next “18 to 24 months” moving the remaining “120 or 130” sites from on-premise servers to the cloud.
