The Constant Call for IT Modernization
Modernizing core IT infrastructure and applications is a continual challenge for IT directors and managers. Agencies must manage a diverse set of systems and investments within the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) framework, yet respond to many pressing short-term demands–the executive's persistent calls for consolidating operations or how to overcome the loss of the key IT staff that developed the core legacy application.
