Improve Core Systems Replacement Success in Federal Government

Thursday, October 3 at 2:30 PM ET | 11:30 AM PT

Webinar Summary

Core systems replacement projects in government are complex, high-stakes, and high-cost endeavors. Modernization is critical to the continued functioning of government systems and service delivery – and getting these projects wrong or not completing them within a typically narrow time window can disrupt essential services, waste resources, and erode public trust. 

Adopt a holistic view with specific approaches in the short, medium, and long term and a nimble shift-left mentality to enable managers to rapidly anticipate and adjust to challenges that arise during such critical projects.

Join this dynamic webinar where we’ll explore: 

  • Common obstacles to successful public sector core systems replacement, such as lack of leadership support, technical debt, inadequate data management, and a waterfall mindset.
  • The importance of viewing projects through the lenses of different time frames, each representing a specific focus across objectives in the short, medium, and long term.
  • How adopting a strategic shift-left approach can mitigate risks early in the project lifecycle, avoiding escalating problems and budget overruns.
