Federal agencies are fast tracking IT modernization. State and local governments are grappling with aging IT infrastructures. Healthcare providers must improve patient outcomes, while education institutions are focused on using data to transform the student experience. The challenges vary, but one thing is clear – all roads lead to the cloud. […]

While once the benchmark for innovation, cloud computing is now powering the next generation of technology – from AI to IoT to machine learning, blockchain, and more. Offering the scalability and agility to support a massive influx of data, cloud-based emerging technologies are transforming government with real-time analysis and intelligent response.

Join us for a merry evening as we discuss the IT transformation initiatives and efforts that will be at the forefront of the new year’s IT agenda with a happy hour featuring beverages, heavy hors d-oeuvres, and plenty of holiday cheer.

With DCOI, the MGT Act, and other initiatives pushing Federal agencies to modernize legacy IT, Feds are increasingly moving services to cloud. As agencies look to expedite migration and implementation, DevOps is emerging as an effective accelerant. The increased collaboration across agency functions provides effective application management, enhanced automation, and improved integration – helping government move forward on the cloud journey and innovate faster.

Data visionaries can accelerate their agency’s digital transformation with the right tools and strategies.  As the Administration and the Hill continue to push for faster IT modernization, transforming agencies from the inside out is a critical to achieving real IT reform – and to unleashing the potential of agency data.

You don’t need the Modernizing Government Technology Act to tell you that we spend too much money on legacy IT. However, the toughest part of transforming your organization is often addressing legacy IT issues, and knowing where to start is half the battle. How do we embrace the modernization opportunity to achieve digital transformation across government agencies while reducing costs? Join MeriTalk for a discussion on the shape of things to come where digital transformation and cloud collide.

Today’s cloud generation wants it all – flexibility, connectivity, agility, and security. As Federal agencies embrace cloud as the key to a dynamic and modern IT enterprise, they struggle to meet all of these demands, on top of ensuring FedRAMP and FISMA compliance.

There has been a lot of cloud talk – but how are agencies putting it into action? Where is cloud making a difference in terms of agencies’ mission effectiveness? How will it intersect with the growing focus on IoT and DevOps? What tangible results are agencies – and their budgets – realizing from moving workloads to the cloud?

Offering more flexibility, security, and speed in times of crisis, many agencies are moving to Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) models to manage their data – but the transition can be difficult to navigate.

Join us on February 8 at the Rayburn House Office Building for a Cloud Computing Caucus Advisory Group Hillversation to hear from Federal and state agencies on their cloud strategies and how government can navigate the journey to the cloud.
