Government Innovation: Making the Mission Possible

Join us on Thursday, April 11 from 2-3 p.m. ET/11 a.m.-noon PT to hear how agencies are creating the space for innovation using open source and commercial-off-the-shelf-technologies (COTS) web platforms to drive mission-focused innovation.

The Federal Acquisition Regulation’s (FAR) restrictions, both real and perceived, have been a challenge for digital innovation efforts. Government views about open source technologies and COTS are shifting, and agencies are rethinking scale, innovation and security and embracing the reliability and assurance of a COTS model.

Specifically, you will learn:

How government agencies are using and embracing current technologies.
The biggest barriers facing agencies hoping to innovate by updating their legacy systems.
How the COTS model is driving innovation.
