It’s already been more than two years since the pandemic forced a dramatic shift in organizations’ workplace operations, and federal agencies were no exception. The rapid adoption of remote work in 2020 led agencies to permanently change the way they operate, with remote and hybrid working environments now here to stay. Still, private and public organizations continue to try to figure out exactly how to structure their new work environments if some form of remote work is truly permanent.

There was a time when government paid little attention to what we now call “customer experience” (CX). Agencies had their rules, and constituents had to navigate them to get the services they needed. The Department of Veterans Affairs was no different. But in 2015, VA set up the Veterans Experience Office to begin to address the way veterans’ needs were met.

Small business government contractors are (or should be) aware of the SBA’s affiliation rules. In a nutshell, the rules set the standard for whether/when another business controls – or has the ability to control – the small business. Affiliation is a huge red flag for small business contractors. A finding of affiliation can lead to lost contracting opportunities and the inability to access the set-aside contract marketplace.

DevSecOps is a practice where security is baked into the software and service development of an agency from the beginning. Adopting such a practice takes time and effort, so is it worth it for federal agencies to undertake this task? With common government pain points in my mind, DevSecOps could be the smart way forward. An IBM survey shows that governments identify security as the biggest reason to modernize their IT infrastructures.

While it has been a mainstay in the private sector for many years, software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) technology is still slowly finding its way into the federal government. However, the benefits of SD-WAN are more critical than ever as agencies look to modernize their older network topologies and bolster cybersecurity. Some agencies have started to adopt SD-WAN in the form of network transitions and modernizations under the General Services Administration’s $50 billion Enterprise In

Proprietary database products pose substantial risk to government agencies, especially as data moves to the cloud. To accelerate innovation and achieve modern enterprise application success, they need the agility to manage data seamlessly, both on premises and in the cloud. These agencies can benefit from an open source approach that helps them avoid hurdles such as vendor-lock, rising costs and incompatible security methodologies.

Federal agencies have an obligation to deliver high-quality wireless services for their workers and for citizens. At first blush, delivering the kind of reliable access that users expect seems fairly simple for IT administrators: Just set up your Wi-Fi access points, connect devices and you’re good to go. Depending on the work environment, though, that’s not always the case.

Federal agencies need to modernize their technology infrastructures, but few have access to the capital expenditure funding at the levels needed to support the upfront costs it requires — even if such a move would save money in the long run. Many see the need to shift to an on-demand approach to buying IT resources. Commercial cloud offerings lean in this direction, but with the ever-increasing demand for data, many in government have seen their cloud expenditures skyrocket.

Agencies face a range of challenges. They may struggle to keep up with changing compliance frameworks, as well as strict data privacy and sovereignty rules. For those in the cloud, or on the way there, large data volumes can be problematic, as can the demand for specific tools, controls and policies. “We’re seeing agencies struggling to keep up with the pace to deliver a more modern experience to their citizens and staff,” said Peter Gleek, Market Leader – Cloud, Solutions and Services at Insigh

Federal IT leaders seem to be at a crossroads when it comes to their infrastructure and operations, facing a choice of what to move to the cloud and what to keep on premises. An overwhelming 91% of federal respondents in a recent survey said they have all, most or some of their systems and solutions in the cloud. In the same survey, however, 56% of federal respondents said they still prefer to keep at least some of their sensitive citizen data and mission-critical data on premises.
