The Five Priorities of Public Sector IT Transformation Feb 09, 2021

Show notes

Simple, fast and accessible are words that historically have not been associated with government technology systems. Ask any agency leader who balances the burden of legacy IT with demands to rapidly meet pressing mission needs. In this episode, Nick Psaki, Principal System Engineer for North American Federal at Pure Storage, discusses five priorities he has gleaned from agency customers as they focus on enterprise transformation in 2021 and beyond. Nick elaborates on his 5 S's that every government (and commercial business) need to be successful - security, sustainment, simplicity, scale, and speed - and how Pure's simple and intuitive, always modern, and flexible on-demand architecture is helping government users fast-track their modernization journey.
