Federal bureaus face relentless pressure to roll out new digital services quickly while safeguarding highly sensitive data and meeting strict FedRAMP, FISMA and audit mandates.
At the same time, agencies are expected to operate across an increasingly complex mix of environments, from on-premises data centers to multiple public clouds and edge deployments, each with its own tooling, policies and constraints. Legacy, manual workflows and fragmented tooling keep provisioning cycles at weeks-long intervals, inflate compliance overhead and expose mission-critical services to unnecessary risk.
Infrastructure is often built inconsistently across these environments, making audits painful and slowing delivery because teams must reconcile divergent configurations before any change can be approved.
In this session, we will demonstrate how a unified hybrid-cloud operating model brings infrastructure, identity, security and connectivity under a single set of policies.
Discover how policy-driven automation can:
-
Reduce Provisioning Times: Drive automation and efficiency across the full infrastructure lifecycle, cutting deployment cycles from weeks to hours and freeing staff to focus on mission-critical modernization initiatives
-
Simplify Compliance: Enforce consistent controls across on-premises data centers and public clouds (AWS, Azure and GCP), dramatically reducing audit preparation effort and risk exposure
-
Boost Resilience: Utilize a secure, SaaS-based network overlay that enables uninterrupted service delivery, even during infrastructure or platform disruptions
Why it matters: Modernization must strengthen trust, protect sensitive data and ensure uninterrupted delivery of the services citizens rely on—from tax collection and federal payments to financial intelligence, bank supervision and currency operations.
IBM Automation Solutions are foundational for our customers: rather than merely fixing errors faster, agencies leverage these solutions to create and manage infrastructures that are inherently less error-prone and far more efficient, delivering a compliant, auditable and AI-ready environment at bureau scale.
Reserve your seat and join Tim Olson, Senior Solutions Engineer, and Dan Fedick, Field CTO at HashiCorp, for a live look at what a unified hybrid-cloud strategy can do for your bureau.
