About the webinar

The need for government organizations to move to cloud-based platforms is more important than ever. Advantages include agility, innovation and a cost-effective way to deliver outcomes. But many cloud migrations fail to gain all these potential benefits.

Join us in the second part of our multipart webinar series where we will explore how government organizations can start to move analytics to the cloud, weighing the options, and choosing the right approach to migration. We will also discuss how to maximize the performance and value of analytics in the cloud to get the most out of your business.

In this webinar, we’ll answer questions such as:

  • Why are government organizations moving analytic work to the cloud?
  • Why is it important to get your systems into the cloud? 
  • What are the key challenges and misconceptions for modernizing analytic ecosystems in the cloud?
  • Why migrate and take this approach now? 
  • How are technologies and vendors pivoting to support this evolution?
