Capitalizing on Cloud: Transforming Government IT

Federal agencies have been encouraged to “cloudify” what they can to save resources and drive innovative new ways of serving the citizen. Most public and private sector organizations are pursuing the twin sirens of lower operating costs and greater agility by focusing on migrating applications and data to the cloud.

This discussion will focus on strategies that government agencies are employing to capitalize on their culture, technology capabilities and budget while meeting stringent security requirements.

We’ll Discuss:

• Delineate the benefits agencies have accrued by migrating systems and networks into a cloud construct.
• Describe the factors that are driving agency cloud strategies and projections of how the cloud will be used in the next 3-5 years.
• Explore the government policies that regulate the use of cloud services.
• Review best practices for measuring the maturity of agency data, network and other systems for cloud migration.
• Detail plans for readying the technology workforce to manage a multi-cloud environment.
