The CIO Agenda: Application Modernization as a Pathway to the Cloud

GAO projects that 75% of the Federal government’s IT budget is spent maintaining legacy IT systems. That’s $62 billion for software and hardware that is time-consuming to maintain and difficult to adapt to today’s demands for greater transparency and citizen access.

Government agencies are looking for a more flexible and agile IT framework. Application modernization, shared services, OMB’s Cloud First mandate, mobility and cyber security top the list of priorities, and with the Federal IT for FY 2015 stable at $80 billion, agencies are seeking ways to migrate their legacy systems to the cloud.

This briefing will bring government thought-leaders to the table to talk about their plans to innovate by modernizing their legacy systems.

You'll explore:

Legacy system migration imperatives and the steps agencies are taking to meet the mandate.
Tools and techniques agencies are using to address increased citizen demands for greater access to government data.
Best practices on path forward to aligning IT modernization strategies to deliver agency missions.
Government trends and acquisition plans for moving dollars from operating capital to newer technology
