8 Assisting developing countries

1 Scope
The scope of this Supplement to ITU-T Y.3500-series is to study and present the situation relating to the
application of cloud computing services in developing countries, the obstacles encountered and the facets
that would stimulate assimilation of cloud computing services based on experiences from these countries.

The Supplement also highlights the current requirements for provision and deployment of cloud computing
services and to what extent cloud computing standards are applied in developing countries.
