Federal agencies face mounting pressure to modernize legacy IT systems swiftly, without exceeding budget or sacrificing accountability. While cloud adoption is central to these efforts, cost visibility and governance remain persistent challenges.

IT leaders will highlight how greater transparency, cross-agency alignment, and strategic decision-making are helping agencies reduce waste, reallocate resources, and deliver mission outcomes faster, often in just weeks instead of years.
