How to spend every dollar well: Prioritizing IT investments amid constrained budgets

Many government departments and agencies have developed plans for digital transformation, but they often need to be built on legacy systems.

Replacing these systems wholesale is not going to happen quickly. Instead, what government need is systems to build on these systems to improve services step-by-step to make them more modern.

This session will discuss how governments can practically make the most of digital transformation investments to build more effective systems. Leaders in this session will discuss how to determine the best investments that government can make to address the legacy technology backlog, and how to determine the best projects to spend the marginal dollar of public money on.
