As agencies adopt new ways of collecting, sharing, and storing their information assets, the impact on the IT infrastructure as well as agency operating environments can be substantial.  While some traditional IT and management functions may be replaced by automation available in the cloud applications, new strategies and policies may be necessary to ensure optimization, sustainability and sufficient oversight of these more virtual computing approaches.  Join this panel of seasoned professionals to understand how new computing strategies have transformational capabilities that will help agencies optimize service delivery, improve information management, and enable the injection of innovative  and cost-effective new methods of making government work. 

Attendees will learn how:

  • Federal cloud computing policies are driving operational change
  • To realize efficiencies and cost savings by using government resources differently
  • Public sector professionals are supporting agency transformation with the introduction of innovative technologies and new computing strategies
  • Cloud computing integration requires revised governance and security implementation and oversight
