Innovation and IT
National Insights – Spring Edition
Wednesday, March 23, 2022 | 12pm – 2pm ET • 9am – 11am PT | Online
Event Overview
Enabling a Technology-Driven Government
Public sector leaders have recognized the value of investing in IT, for many, the adoption remains a challenge based on security, compliance, budgetary realities, and existing roadmaps. As one of the key pillars in economic development, IT can have a significant impact on policy implementation and thereafter realization of the government’s goals and objectives.
Public Sector Network’s Innovation and IT: National Insights – Spring Edition Virtual Event will bring together CIOs, Chief Architects, and other IT leaders to discuss ways that IT systems can be enablers for, as opposed to barriers to, digital service delivery. Increasing data security, developing innovative IT products and services, and stronger orientation towards the needs of citizens should be the priority. We will explore how the public sector can address legacy systems and look to sustainable modernization.
