RECORDS MANAGEMENT TRACK SPONSORS

The purpose of enterprise architecture (EA) is to determine how an agency can most effectively achieve the current and future objectives of its business goals. EA helps lay out a clear framework of an agency’s structure, personnel, technology, and planning to get the most out of government services. Over the past decade, the question has shifted from whether there is value in doing Enterprise Architecture (EA) in an organization to how the value of EA can be maintained in an agency.

Government agencies are modernizing with the goal of delivering public services in a more secure, effective, and efficient way. To accomplish this, it is vital for the government architecture community and innovation leaders to build data-driven agencies focused on business priorities and mission objectives. The annual Government EA Conference @930gov will focus on how EA is being deployed to solve some of the most pressing public sector challenges.

Learning objectives include:

  • Modernizing Enterprise Architecture to unleash agency innovation
  • How agencies are using EA to:
    • roadmap Zero Trust
    • improve customer experience
    • enable artificial intelligence & machine learning
    • govern cloud platforms
  • Learn how a well-run strategic portfolio management practice delivers real business value
  • A review of the evolution of EA Tools and current integration capabilities
  • How to maintain an effective EA team (examples from public and private sectors)
  • Case study on data-driven decision making and operationalizing EA

12th Annual 930gov Networking Reception

For government agencies to evolve and deliver exceptional service to citizens, technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other cloud-based solutions must be widely implemented and adopted. Combining the potential capabilities of both AI and the cloud can deliver greater efficiency, productivity, and digital security required by government agencies moving forward.

The rapid advancement in both technologies leads us to believe cloud computing and artificial intelligence are increasingly merging. Using a cloud infrastructure with AI tools allows agencies to process and analyze data in real time, providing service capabilities on par with industry leading vendors.

The Artificial Intelligence/Cloud Computing @930gov conference will explore the recent developments of each capability and how the use of these technologies can benefit the public sector.

Learning objectives include:

  • How AI can help government make smarter, faster decisions
  • How government agencies can leverage the cloud to achieve cost savings, improve efficiency and meet federal mandates
  • How AI, ML and cloud computing are assisting agency mission
  • Examples of customer service improvements with use of AI
  • Benefits of automated remediation and investigation
  • Implementation hurdles to expect
  • How to create a smart, connected, secure government
  • Examples of industry best practices & lessons learned using AI/Cloud

Government agencies have vast amounts of data representing a significant source of value for both the public and private sectors. Collecting, storing, and analyzing data has potential benefits for government agencies, including deeper insights, accelerated mission effectiveness, and more efficient operations. The key is having the ability to gain insight into available data in a way that supports agency goals in an efficient, customer-focused, and scalable way.

The Data Management / Data Strategy @930gov Conference program, developed in conjunction with DGI’s Government Educational Advisory Committee, will focus on data use cases, implementation success stories, data hurdles, and lessons learned. This conference offers a unique opportunity for public sector data professionals to network in-person, hear what is new, and learn from their government peers.

Learning objectives include:

  • Tools and resources required to use data in a critical decision-making process
  • Best practices to understand and navigate the relevant data landscape
  • How to build a data culture across the organization
  • Federal Data Strategy update – what lies ahead in FY 2025
  • Benefits of using a Unified Cloud Data Platform
  • How to collect & move data in a simple, secure, scalable, and cost-effective way
  • How to future-proof cloud and data migrations

The public sector is a key target for cyber criminals, and an agency’s vulnerability to attack continues to increase as reliance on digital practices continues to rise. However, following existing cybersecurity guidelines and embedding Zero Trust principals, government agencies can limit the movements of attackers or even shut them out entirely, creating a more secure network.

Zero Trust is a security framework requiring all users, whether inside an agency’s network or not, to be authenticated, authorized, and continuously validated for security before being granted access to applications and data. Zero Trust is an ongoing process requiring continued refinement as each agency’s business requirements and subsequent technology shifts occur. As a result, following existing cyber security procedures and Zero Trust guidelines has left some agencies still in the planning stages of Zero Trust implementation.

The Cybersecurity & Zero Trust @930gov conference program will examine the alignment of existing government cybersecurity initiatives with Zero Trust guidelines to deliver improved security to government agencies.

Learning Objectives include:

  • How to develop and inspire agency wide trust to succeed with Zero Trust
  • How to augment existing security architecture with Zero Trust principles
  • How to create a comprehensive cybersecurity posture—outlining the steps and processes agencies can take to ensure long-term security of their networks
  • Sharing examples of the essential components of Zero Trust transformation to include effective communication, changing culture, available tools, adjusting processes and personnel training
  • Review of ID management best practices and case studies
