Aligning Cloud Strategy with Agency Mission

Many cloud subject matter experts agree that an agency’s cloud strategy must be aligned with agency mission. Among the most common reasons cloud strategies fail are not having a solid business/operational case for cloud migration, failing to test before deployment, and underestimating the time and funding required.

This virtual workshop will share a few examples of mission-aligned cloud migrations and lessons learned.
