  The need for process improvement is an important target that does affect as
well the government processes. Specifically in the public sector there are
specific challenges to face.New technology approaches within government
processes such as cloud services are necessary to address these challenges.
Following the current discussion of cloudification of business processes all
processes are considered similar in regards to their usability within the
cloud. The truth is, that neither all processes have the same usability for
cloud services not do they have the same importance for a specific company.The
most comprehensive process within a company is the corporate value chain. In
this article one key proposition is to use the corporate value chain as the
fundamental structuring backbone for all business process analysis and
improvement activities. It is a pre-requisite to identify the core elements of
the value chain that are essential for the individual companys business and the
root cause for any company success. In this paper we propose to use the
company-specific value-creation for the cloud-affinity and the cloud-usability
of a business process in public sector considering the specific challenges of
addressing processes in cloud services. Therefor it is necessary to formalize
the way the processes with its interdependencies are documented in context of
their company-specific value chain (as part of the various deployment- and
governance alternatives. Moreover, it is essential in the public sector to
describe in detail the environmental and external restrictions of processes.
With the use of this proposed methodology it becomes relatively easy to
identify cloud-suitable processes within the public sector and thus optimize
the public companies value generation tightly focused with the use of this new
technology.
