Ascend to Cloud: From Data Center EOL to AI-Ready Modernization

State, local and education (SLED) agencies are approaching a critical inflection point. Core systems that power public services — from case management to IT service desks — are aging out, hitting end-of-life timelines that leave little room for delay. Every delay increases vulnerability, maintenance costs and the potential for service disruptions. At the same time, this moment offers an opportunity to modernize smartly. Agencies who adopt secure, resilient and unified platforms will position themselves to build a foundation for future-ready public service delivery.

In this GovExec webcast, government technology leaders will share how they’re taking structured, strategic approaches to consolidation, modernization and secure migration. They’ll discuss how automation and integration are helping teams boost efficiency without compromising security, how cloud-native tools and modern platforms accelerate service delivery, and how agencies are breaking down longstanding data silos to enable real-time, mission-ready insight. Speakers will also offer practical guidance on protecting data integrity, preparing the workforce and ensuring uninterrupted public services throughout the migration journey.
