XChange Public Sector

Bringing IT Innovation to the Nation: A Public Sector Thought Leadership Conference

State and local governments are back in growth mode when it comes to IT spending. These organizations, unlike the federal government, are pivoting from a period of cost-cutting to a new era of resurgence. Public sector IT integrators, contractors and vendors who focus on the nearly $60 billion SLED sector are engaged in a market now growing faster than federal spending. Yes, federal remains important but state and local IT is becoming the epicenter of IT innovation and suddenly looking attractive to players that have long focused only on federal. But the SLED market has its challenges. Unlike the federal market, it is highly fragmented, comprising some 90,000 governments with a variety of procurement rules and governance structures. To succeed, integrators, contractors and their vendor partners must collaborate to build an ecosystem of professionals who have state, county and city expertise. Given the turnover of state CIOs, understanding the priorities and viewpoints of each state is paramount. This XChange Public Sector Think Tank will cover the following issues: optimizing partnerships; IT procurement; cybersecurity; mobility; cloud services; business intelligence/analytics; sourcing; project and portfolio management; and disaster recover/business continuity.
