This year is becoming the tipping point for government IT modernization. Why are government agencies undertaking this transformation now? And, importantly, why is cloud technology central to this change?
Procurement is a critical, but often overlooked, element of government operations. Indeed, it is the fuel for the government engine—delivering the products, services, and solutions that agencies and their personnel need to better serve the public.
Cloud computing, mobile devices, the internet of things (IoT) and the increasing digitization of information and processes in a hybrid computing environment presents new challenges for government leaders hoping to modernize the way they securely meet and exceed mission goals and provide services to citizens.
On Oct. 17, in Washington, D.C., we will host the sixth annual Microsoft Government Cloud Forum where we will share our innovative perspectives on how to navigate the ongoing digital transformation process under way today throughout government. We will discuss best practices that will allow you to embrace the cloud on your own terms in a hybrid world, allowing seamless integration with your current infrastructure and the ability to decide what applications and data will be on-premises and which ones will be in the cloud.
