Strategies for Network Modernization

If there was any doubt about the importance of agency networks, it was put to rest over the last 18 months.

Agencies with a modernized network fared better during the rush to remote work and requirement to serve citizens in a digital way.

Now as agencies can take a quarter step back, and maybe take a breath or two, they must consider how the future of the network must evolve. This roadmap must include cloud, software-defined networks and, of course, better security.

Executives from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, U.S. Marshals Service, U.S. Postal Service, Lumen and Ciena will discuss how to deliver services through cloud-based applications to citizens to take advantage of artificial intelligence, machine learning and advanced analytics, and emerging technologies like 5G.
