Government IT Insights: Fall Edition

Friday, October 28, 2022 | 12pm – 2:40pm ET | Online

Event Overview

Transforming Government through Technology Driven Initiatives

Technology has evolved into a critical driver of change that matters. For this to progress, there is an increasing need for technology to become a competitive advantage. Whether it has been shifting to online, or the increased need to make all services accessible, technology has emerged as a critical component. That reality has injected a renewed importance and new urgency into modernizing the technology function.

The government can no longer afford the long timelines and disappointing returns that have hampered many of the technology projects of the past. Solutions should be implemented to realize long-term benefits and capture the full potential of technology innovations. Excellence in information technology is a prerequisite for excellence in the public sector. It is an ongoing challenge to find the right tools, infrastructure hardware, and systems that result in successful information technology projects and pivoting existing infrastructures.

Public Sector Network invites you to join the conversation at our Virtual Event: Government IT Insights: Fall Edition. We will bring together public sector thought-leaders as they examine how technologies play an integral role in launching new projects and being a catalyst of change.

Adaptive Accessibility and Inclusion in Technology: Making Innovations in Technology Work for All

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts continues to face the reality that not all the benefits of technology are accessible to all. The pandemic has brought attention to the fact that digital exclusion is a reality for those below a certain income level, in many remote communities, and for those facing challenges due to physical or mental disabilities. Join Julia Wong as she outlines key initiatives for getting started with your own technology accessibility programs and how those who have begun their journeys – can properly tune their initiatives for success.

Technology and the Future of Citizen Experience

In today’s landscape people are accustomed to getting goods and services with relative ease. This is often done with a click on a phone or computer. How can the government keep up with this fast-changing environment? Government leaders face numerous challenges as they work to improve their customer experiences. They must compete for talent despite budgetary constraints and maintain resilience amid the growing complexity of citizens’ needs. How can technology add value and streamline this process?

This panel of experts will examine the following:

  • Different technologies that have been used for the citizen experience to include automation, the cloud and artificial intelligence.
  • How can government adopt technologies in ways that sustain customer experience, without causing issues that hinder the success of the projects?
  • Discussion of some cost sharing and project plans that have been implemented

CIO’s Perspective- the Human Side of Technology

Technology leaders must balance the evolving landscape of threats, work locations, new products, services, and the demands of the customer for exceptional service. This session will take a look through the eyes of a CIO and help attendees understand the priorities of today’s IT leaders and how the Human side is every bit as important as the technology.
