The new administration’s directive to “do more with less” calls on federal agencies to both increase efficiencies and improve results with existing resources. To meet this challenge agencies are harnessing the power of data and analytics to implement effective, evidence-based programs. This culture of results-driven decision-making enables more productive employees, fewer wasted resources, better service for citizens, and hig...

The government’s current IT trajectory is not sustainable, and DOD and other agencies must modernize their systems to make use of new data available to them, handle current and future security threats and maximize their returns on IT investments. The government spends about 80 percent of its $80-plus billion IT budget on legacy systems, leaving precious few resources available to modernize systems and test, develop and keep pace with ne...

Agencies across government are expanding their C-suites with a new kind of technology expert: the Chief Data Officer. Charged with helping agencies derive new insights from existing – and expanding – data sets, CDOs are primed to play a major role in the future of government technology. As Chief Data Officers work to define their new roles, they will face a suite of opportunities and challenges that will shape their day-to-day effo...

They'll also address the need for building effective vendor partnerships and how these pivotal relationships sh...

How Cloud is Driving Tomorrow’s Digital Government -- Cloud computing made early waves in government for its penchant to save agencies money and realize efficiencies inherent in purchasing IT as a service, but cloud has now become integral to a next-generation digital government. The federal government is both a massive consumer and producer of myriad data sets, and cloud computing is rapidly becoming the de facto mechanism for how data...

Today’s organizations and federal agencies have to protect their sensitive data from their own – it’s a simple fact of IT life these days. Thorough cybersecurity plans naturally protect an agency's secret or sensitive information from outsiders, but it’s become all too obvious in recent years that federal cybersecurity efforts must also safeguard that vital data from trusted insiders. Through malicious action or neglige...

Records and Information Management in the Federal Government has reached a tipping point in how information is created, managed, and retired or ultimately destroyed. With pressures on agencies reaching new levels of volumes and content types for both physical and digital records, and government initiatives intersecting at critical deadlines, agencies need to think differently about the future of their information management programs. Re-defini...

The federal government occupies approximately 500,000 buildings worldwide, spending billions of dollars annually on operational costs alone. Yet some agencies are using technology in unique ways to curb energy consumption and realize efficiencies integral to the overall success of their missions. This panel would explore the government’s innovative efforts to maximize efficiencies through data analysis and data-driven technology. Join us...

Securing government networks is growing ever more challenging as agencies face a growing variety of threats on one side and shrinking IT budgets on the other. Now more than ever, agencies need to turn to innovation to enable them to deal with threats of every type in a cost-effective way. They also find that even as they do so, the landscape of cybersecurity is changing around them. In the third installment of the Cybersecurity Series, we...
