The Essential Elements of IT Modernization
Government leaders have long recognized the need to create a more agile and resilient government. Achieving that goal involves capitalizing on the latest advances in technology and sustaining agencies’ drive toward IT modernization.
IT modernization is a multifaceted effort that involves incorporating 5G connectivity and artificial intelligence into tools and processes while streamlining multi-cloud operations and strengthening the way data is stored and managed. Modern IT systems also take full advantage of edge computing to speed innovation by analyzing data where it is gathered. The final, overarching element is a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity that relies on zero trust principles.
Beyond the traditional network edge lie environments that can challenge even the most modern infrastructure. Called the tactical edge, those environments typically have limited computing resources, little or no access to the cloud, and intermittent connectivity. Examples include battlefields and disaster recovery sites.
These people-centric efforts are crucial for reaping the benefits of dramatic technological advancements that promise to reshape society. The commitment to modernizing agencies’ IT systems endures because leaders recognize that only a highly efficient and effective government can ensure the country’s security, prosperity and well-being.
