Agencies today are adopting an open source first policy, modeling OMB’s new Digital Service Playbook. With the White House’s release of its draft Federal Source Code Policy this month, all software will be shareable across government to save taxpayer dollars and promote collaboration and innovation. The widespread adoption of open source has accelerated the reach and scope of the open hybrid cloud solutions for use across government.

This webinar will discuss how to harness open source in a hybrid cloud environment to enable innovation, and increase IT agility while reducing costs for the American people and respond to rapidly changing mission needs.

We’ll Discuss:

How open hybrid cloud permits agencies to meet citizen and business needs without creating IT silos.
Why public and open source software increases software reliability and security through encouraging continuous and broad peer review.
How open hybrid cloud prevents vendor lock-in and ensures reusability of code work paid for by the taxpayers.
How innovation and cost-savings go hand and hand with open hybrid cloud.
