Digital transformation might be the word of the day. In reality, organizations have been continuously transforming their information technology ever since the first adding machine. The current wave of digital transformation in the government is driven by the advent of new technologies and the need for a new generation of services – both for internal users and in applications deployed to the public. A series of policy developments, including the President’s Management Agenda, seek to make sure transformation happens.

The need for more contemporary applications has sparked new approaches to software development. The need to rationalize infrastructure and deploy digital services in a more agile way has sparked data center modernization and cloud. And now ubiquitous mobility, growing adoption of cloud computing, and ever wider deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) devices have spurred agencies to transform their networks.
