Educational institutions and state and local agencies historically have been challenged to keep up with technological advancements – their budgets are tight, their users are increasingly distributed post-pandemic, and they face significant operating expenses from maintaining legacy architectures and equipment. Digital transformation is appealing, but for many organizations the challenge is where to start.

As the generation of data has exploded, for many digital leaders the logical starting point is rethinking digital infrastructure. Many state and local agencies are looking to get out of their legacy data centers; they don’t have the capacity or resources to support new applications.

Learning Objectives:

Identify the risks and benefits of modernizing you network to optimize throughput
Establish metrics, such as cost savings and latency improvements, to measure success
Delineate the effect on security of modernizing your digital infrastructure
Outline the steps to minimize disruptions and control expenses
