Cloud computing is the engine accelerating modernization across government. Agencies want to put AI, IoT, and advanced analytics to work – and cloud is the quickest way to turn on these new services. And, with MGT now law, Federal agencies get to reprogram one-year savings to fund three-year IT transformations. That’s a game changer – it provides new incentives for agencies to accelerate change. We’ll sit down with gove...

Cloud is the linchpin of the Trump administration’s strategy to modernize federal IT. In its recent “Report to the White House on IT Modernization,” the American Technology Council calls for agencies to “maximize secure use of cloud computing.”However, the report also acknowledges that despite recognizing its value, agencies have encountered numerous obstacles to cloud adoption. The task now is to identify techno...

As much as agency IT leaders know they need to make the cloud a core component of their IT infrastructure, they also know that they need to address long-standing concerns about the security of the cloud. The FedRAMP program, of course, is an important part of any agency’s cloud security strategy, and the program has evolved to address emerging requirements for higher-level security requirements—but it is only part of the story. Age...

Cloud Computing continues to grow in importance in the public sector. Agency personnel responsible for developing and implementing cloud-based solutions -- for implementing data center consolidation and other technology efficiencies -- continue to look for opportunities to learn about the best technologies, configurations, service and deployment models and appropriate mix of cloud services -- based on their government agency requirements. Digi...

As multiple, prior administrations came to understand, a good portion of the annual Federal IT budget is allocated to keeping legacy systems functioning, ultimately draining precious funds away from modernizing systems and capabilities. Over the years, costs to maintain these “end-of-life” systems continued to grow. The goal of the IT Modernization effort is to replace legacy IT systems and modernize so agencies can (1) more easily...
