Why should you attend the Summit?
Currently the government’s IT environment is characterized by low asset utilization, a fragmented demand for resources, duplicative systems, environments which are difficult to manage, and long procurement lead times. These inefficiencies negatively impact the DoD and federal agencies ability to serve the American public and National Security. Recently the Federal IT apparatus ability to achieve the significant cost, agility and innovation benefits of cloud computing are begging to move quickly.
Cloud computing presents the Government Agencies, Departments and Military Services with an opportunity to transform its IT portfolio by giving agencies the ability to purchase a broad range of IT services in a utility- based model. This allows agencies to refocus their efforts on IT operational expenditures and only pay for IT services consumed instead of buying IT with a focus on capacity. Procuring IT services in a cloud computing model can help the Federal Government to increase operational efficiency, resource utilization, and innovation across its IT portfolio, delivering a higher return on our investments.
DSI’s Cloud Tech & Government IT Summit will provide the latest updates from key organizations involved in the Enterprise Cloud Environment, Defense & Government Information Systems, Enterprise Systems, & Data Center Consolidation addressing cloud computing as the means to deliver the innovative, efficient and secure information.
You can expect to hear from Senior Leaders and Federal Agency CIO’s in policy, defense, and government agency’s, Balancing Security & Innovation for the Defense & IT Community, Mobile Uses & Mobile COTS in Cloud Environments, and Emerging Technologies for Teleport Services.
The summit will provide valuable information on efforts to build partnerships for the latest technology in federal IT modernization efforts.
