Innovation Showcase
Data is essential to the future of our nation. While this is true across business and government, nowhere is it more important than in Department of Defense. In order for the DoD to use data to protect the warfighter, drive missions, win wars, and maintain the peace, they first need to be able to manage their data. The fact that data management is hard and data volumes are growing isn’t news. DoD agencies have been focused on this topic for some time, but with limited results to date. What’s holding back these efforts are legacy IT architectures that are ripe for modernization. So, it comes as no surprise that DoD agencies are leveraging the Cloud and software-defined solutions to modernizing legacy IT systems and embarking on complex digital transformations. A successful digital organization has a mastery of its data. It knows where all of its data resides and as a result, is able to also visualize access protect and migrate data from on-premises to the cloud, on multiple cloud environments, or between clouds and on-premises while also meeting required data compliance requirements. In reality, it doesn’t matter how modern systems are if an agency can’t harness the power of its data. Attend this session to learn how a comprehensive data management strategy is essential to successfully bridge the gap between IT modernization and true digital transformation.
