2016 IT MODERNIZATION FORUM

This year's theme is "Federal Systems Legacy Systems Modernization: Oxymoron or Get a Move On?"

Most federal departments and agencies are burdened with a large portfolio of legacy technologies that dampen the pace of innovation needed to transform agile service delivery and improve cybersecurity. The pressure on agencies to successfully modernize their systems is increasing from the Administration, Congress, and the Government Accountability Office.  Government CIOs/CTOs and CxOs are being asked to make smart choices to upgrade, integrate or replace legacy applications while speeding up the adoption of emerging IT services and deployment models.  Technical, cybersecurity, and nontechnical risks must be properly considered, mitigated and managed. 

In this half-day event, we will explore the typical lifecycle of modernization efforts and the do’s and don’ts associated with properly managing and overcoming hurdles, maintaining momentum in a multi-year budget and procurement environment, and effective ways to showcase results and mission performance impacts.

By attending the 2016 IT Modernization Forum, attendees will be eligible to receive 4 Continuous Learning Points (CLP).
