Looking into the clouds is something Federal IT leaders are spending a lot of time doing. But collecting information from peers, agency contract managers, and vendors can turn the process into a time-consuming project that results in duplicate efforts when agencies are all looking for the same information.

To remedy that, the General Services Administration has constructed Apps.gov. The home page of the site says "Apps.gov is your source for cloud computing applications designed to help your agency harness the power of today's technology."

Federal CIO Vivek Kundra recently discussed the introduction of Apps.gov, and talked about why it's necessary. He also offered an overview of what you'll find when you dig into its resources.
