While cloud is becoming the new normal for government, agencies are still challenged with the daunting task of IT modernization and developing a cohesive cloud migration strategy. Oftentimes, what’s holding back progress is that there isn’t a one-size-fits-all cloud playbook. That, combined with agency culture, hinders many agencies from making their move to cloud. Please RSVP and join the Azure Government DC user community Wednesday, Nov. 29, 6 – 8:30 p.m., for a Meetup on Gov Cloud Migration Strategies & Creating a Culture of Change featuring government and industry experts who will share best practices on critical components for cloud success including stakeholder engagement, evaluation, planning, implementation, outcomes, and cultural change needed to help ensure a smooth transition.
