Federal agencies are migrating to the cloud to deliver digital services that better serve the nation’s citizens. But explosive growth and increased complexity in recent years has made these cloud environments unmanageable. And with soaring costs, cloud is now a material expense and a leading source of unexpected, unbudgeted charges for these agencies.
Unfortunately, basic cloud management strategies and tools can no longer support these complex cloud infrastructures; nor can they help ensure security and compliance with government regulations and IT best practices; and many public sector agencies don’t have the internal staff with the right skillsets to manage these new cloud environments.
Federal agencies, along with their managed service provider partners, can get control of their cloud through approaches that better attribute and optimize costs and resources, as well as support security and compliance requirements – all while helping to drive innovation that realizes the promise of cloud.
Join this GovExec webinar discussion on February 22 at 2 pm EST time and learn how cloud management platforms and strategies can enable public sector cloud stakeholders to get the visibility and intelligence to:
- Better manage cloud costs and allocate them properly across different organizations
- Optimize resources to ensure effective utilization
- Improve governance and streamline processes
- Strengthen security and compliance with government-mandated regulations
