Nearly a year after Cloud Smart became official federal policy, agencies were thinking more critically about application rationalization, cloud security, financially sustainable procurement models, and the workforce needed to support their cloud strategies. Pursuing multiple clouds to meet unique mission needs introduced new governance and management challenges.
In this GovExec webcast, ViON and Dell Technologies unveiled results from the latest Government Business Council poll on cloud management challenges, while government leaders offered practical tips for managing cloud complexity.
Adam Grandt, Director of the Cloud Adoption and Infrastructure Optimization Center of Excellence at the General Services Administration, participated alongside Brian Merrick, Director of Cloud Programs at the U.S. Department of State, and executives from ViON and Dell EMC Federal. The discussion focused on how agencies put business first and build standards to control cloud creep while keeping data secure.
