The smarts behind cloud smart. Hunt played a lead role in developing the Federal Cloud Computing Strategy, known as “cloud smart.” He put engagement and collaboration between agencies and vendors at the forefront and helped identify the barriers the government faces in modernizing its legacy IT. The resulting strategy — the government’s first major cloud policy update in seven years — addresses many of the concerns identified by stakeholders and embraces iterative improvement. Hunt and his team have already released four major updates that are helping to remove barriers so that agencies can achieve greater savings while enhancing security and delivering faster services.
