Government and public sector entities are keenly aware of the benefits of adopting new and innovative technologies across their organizations. Whether costs savings, agility, accessibility, or opportunity for innovation, public sector entities are transforming the ways they do business and deliver services to their constituents. However initiating this transformation is not always intuitive, nor is it easy, and often requires disruption at the highest levels of government to be achieved. Around the world in places like Bahrain, Argentina, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and here in the US, public sector entities are taking the plunge towards the adoption of a "cloud-first" posture. In this session, we hear from government representatives of all levels and countries on their experiences- the good and the bad- in challenging the status quo around government transformation/IT modernization by going "cloud-first."

Argentina Gov. TIC Infrastructure Situation (2016)
• Every organization (any size) working as a silo
• Capex-oriented way of buying technology
• Poor cloud services adoption in government organizations
• No rules nor polices to use public cloud
• A huge Tier-3 data center built and operated by government almost
empty to use
First Move,
Let´s use our available resources (Tier-3 DC)
Improve and offer private cloud services to gov. agencies

But …
Slow speed to delivery
Difficulties to catch up the innovation
Cost disadvantage
Agility
