Federal News Radio: Ask the CIO: Online Chat with the Education Department's Jason Gray



Jason Gray, the Education Department’s chief information officer, joins Federal News Radio’s Ask the CIO for an online chat.

 

Gray answers your questions about how Education is modernizing its technology and improving its cybersecurity.

 

He has been leading an effort to create an IT visualization roadmap to understand Education’s “as-is” and “to-be” environments. Gray is developing a roadmap to get to that modernized environment while leveraging the Technology Business Management Framework to better understand costs. Through this approach, Education found out they are 100 percent in the cloud, but have over 20 cloud service providers.

 

During the chat, participants may ask questions live or submit them in advance by emailing moderator, Executive Editor Jason Miller.
