Continue the Mission to Modernize – April 25th in Washington D.C.

Survey Says…….we’re not there yet.


In October, 2018, in conjunction with Broadcom’s first Mission to Modernize Federal Summit, the Government Business Council completed a survey on modernization with 145 federal employees, and found some interesting results. While the majority of respondents (52%) believed their agency was on the road to modernization, a significant number (43%) lack confidence that their organization’s data storage infrastructure can manage the rising volume of data.


Data is a critical asset for government agencies. As data grows in both volume and importance, how do agency staff balance the need for instantaneous yet secure access to those data, all while managing those assets with limited staff? And why do government employees lack confidence the current modernization strategies are meeting the needs of rising volumes of data?


The road to modernization is paved with good intentions, but it can clearly be bumpy.


On April 25th Broadcom is bringing together leaders from government and the storage industry in Washington D.C. to continue the conversation about modernization. We invite you to join us (click here for more information).
