At AFFIRM’s January luncheon, Steve VanRoekel, U.S. Chief Information Officer, charged government to embrace mobility to fundamentally change both the way government serves the public and how government employees work.
To help meet that charge, AFFIRM and GITEC will take a 360 degree look at mobility from four vital perspectives:
- What is the Federal mobility strategy and how do we achieve it?
- How do we unify data to deliver information to an increasingly mobile nation?
- What are methods we can adopt to streamline government’s telecom expenses substantially?
- Why are government, academia and industry mobilizing the workforce, and what are their results?
Join us for an in-depth look at how the mobility revolution is delivering a nimbler, more agile government for the American people now.
