There is no question that federal agencies’ reliance on outdated, unsupported systems impedes agency missions. It leads to inefficient spending on IT maintenance and opens up dangerous security vulnerabilities. With recent initiatives such as the Modernizing Government Technology Act, the 21st Century IDEA Act, and new cloud adoption requirements, the administration has spurred agencies to modernize.

To do so, they are faced with complex regulations and reporting requirements. During this digital webcast, Nextgov will speak with federal IT experts who are tackling modernization mandates to explore how agencies can successfully modernize while being sure to comply with regulations.
