Moving smart: Cloud accelerators for government - NEW LOCATION!
Details
According to a recent Government Accountability Office report, only 11 percent of federal IT systems are running on the cloud while the Department of Defense uses cloud for about 3 percent of its tech. As many government agencies look to accelerate their drive to the cloud, they can encounter various roadblocks to picking up the pace.
With this in mind, we invite you to RSVP and join the Microsoft Azure Government user community for our next meetup, Moving smart: Cloud accelerators for government, on July 31 at our NEW LOCATION in DC from 6:00 – 8:30 p.m. 1776 at New America.
During this free event you’ll hear from government and industry experts who will provide strategies, insights and resources that can help you break through some of the top barriers to cloud adoption including connectivity, governance, compliance, training, and more.
