EXPLORE THE "WHY"
The primary drivers for IT modernization at government organizations, according to a recent Splunk survey, include replacing aging systems (52%), improving the delivery of mission objectives and citizen experience (48%), and enhancing security posture and reducing agency risk (37%). The urgent need for modernization stems from the vulnerability and high maintenance costs of older systems, and their lack of flexibility and agility to integrate with modern IT systems, which results in difficulty in maintaining service levels and customer experience on par with private sector counterparts.
