How To Get Your Workforce Ready For The Cloud



Does your IT workforce have the cloud skills they need to be successful? Governments have been moving quickly to adopt cloud technologies while managing their legacy systems and infrastructure at the same time. As the technology blueprint for local governments evolves, IT organizations are also adapting to manage multiple environments simultaneously, address complex security requirements and architecture, and manage data and integration points. These are just some of the challenges that an IT workforce will encounter in the cloud. Your team may believe their skills are no longer needed and that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Are you and your team ready?

 

Join us June 13 at 11:00AM PT/2:00PM ET as we explore both the new and traditional skills needed to manage and support cloud solutions. We will also use this time to identify some best practices that can help align your cloud strategy with your workforce strategy:

 

  • What traditional and new skills will your IT team need to support your cloud strategy and systems?
  • What workforce or organizational challenges will governments face when adopting cloud solutions?
  • Are your IT departments organized to support cloud systems and infrastructure?
  • How are IT organizations overcoming the ‘fear of the cloud’ and addressing the cultural changes needed to support the team?
  • What are some approaches or best practices that you can share on how to build the internal expertise needed and plan for the next-generation  technology workforce?
