S 3.2.2: CMS Tools & Cloud Hosting

Consolidate CMS tools and host in the public cloud.

Other Information:

Hosting in the Cloud and common content management -- Our federal domain inventory of top level domains discovered that we have 15 known CMS systems and 16 different hosting environments in use today across the agency for the public web. As we seek to modernize our web publishing capacity, the department expects to leverage a common service offering for all Components to consolidate the CMS tools in use today and host in the public cloud. Our approach is informed by Secretary Napolitano's Action Directive on Web Systems Optimization. In that directive, her intent is to streamline customer access to DHS services, improve DHS web content management and reduce costs by establishing a strategy for web-content management and web-hosting services through consolidation and centralized hosting of DHS public-facing websites. DHS has started to leverage public cloud offerings, and awarded a public cloud hosting contract off the GSA’s IaaS Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to have a cloud computing provider host DHS public facing web sites. This will directly support the consolidation of our public-facing Web sites to enhance DHS’ ability to service citizens.
