As the leader of a dynamic company, you understand how frustrating it is when projects fail due to inadequate support. Here is why settling for inexperienced tech teams is a risk you cannot afford:      𝟏. 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬: Nothing ruins your business like a poorly managed database. Inexperienced teams may lack the foresight and skill to structure databases properly, resulting in performance bottlenecks and scalability issues.  𝟐. 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐢𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Cloud migrations are complex. Without seasoned experts, migrations can result in data loss, prolonged downtime, and security vulnerabilities, costing your business time, money, and trust.  𝟑. 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐆𝐚𝐩𝐬: Cybersecurity demands up-to-date expertise. Novices may lack the in-depth knowledge required to protect your systems from the most recent threats, leaving your company vulnerable to security breaches.  𝟒. 𝐈𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Quality in IT is more than just keeping things running; it is also about improving performance. Skilled professionals create solutions that grow with your company instead of temporary fixes that may need to be revisited frequently.  𝟓. 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐬: Hiring less experienced employees may appear to be less expensive at first, but the long-term financial impact of delays, errors, and inefficiencies can far outweigh the cost of hiring qualified experts from the start.  At Deverg, we understand the challenges you face in maintaining the integrity and security of your business data.

While I was participating in TechNet Cyber, this important DOD announcement was release to the attendees. "The Pentagon unveiled a new IT modernization strategy....that lays out tangible steps for leaders to address workforce shortages, make its networks faster and streamline policies for more efficient procurement and governance." "The strategy offers specifics on broad, sweeping goals by the Pentagon to communicate faster and more securely with warfighters and allies. To date, the government has issued a number of strategic plans and frameworks to double down on cybersecurity and accelerate the military’s development of tools like AI, but this plan takes that a step further by prioritizing user experience and scalable, agile investments." If you missed TechNet Cyber or this important DOD announcement, I wanted our Industry Partners to be aware. I regularly discuss GOVCON opportunities with our industry partners and the efficiency of the acquisition process is a consistent topic. #defenseindustry #defenseacquisition #itmodernization #dod

Cultivating Digital Excellence: Developing Tech Talent in Government by our Quadrant Four Team. Federal agencies rely on sophisticated technologies to protect national security, manage critical infrastructure, and deliver essential services to citizens. However, the rapid pace of technological advancements presents a significant challenge: attracting and retaining skilled tech professionals. Federal roles often require unique cybersecurity, data analytics, and IT infrastructure expertise, yet these positions are becoming increasingly difficult to fill. The private sector's lucrative offers and dynamic work environments often lure top talent away from public service. Developing and maintaining a pipeline of highly skilled tech professionals through continuous learning, innovative training programs, and strategic recruitment efforts is crucial for federal agencies to stay ahead of emerging threats and effectively serve the public.

An extremely detailed report from TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group had some food for thought for those of us with interests in the enterprise technology space. The report, which came out last month, suggested that nearly all IT and business decision-makers expected their IT budgets to either stay the same as 2023 or increase. This is an improvement over projections from recent years, so that’s encouraging. The real insights are hidden in the sections that talk about where enterprises are looking to spend their money. Perhaps not surprisingly, the top claimant for budget dollars is cybersecurity. The increasing scale of attacks, use of AI-enabled threat vectors, growth of hybrid work, and geopolitical factors are all creating the perfect storm here. Cloud claims second place on this chart. That’s not surprising considering the ubiquitous presence of the cloud in IT infrastructure. The interesting side note here is that this comes even as enterprises are tempering their cloud adoption strategies. Nearly 4 out of 10 organizations say that they now view on-premise and cloud as equally important. One of the reasons for that is the growing difficulty of managing cloud costs. And that’s making data governance and data management the technology initiative grabbing the next highest budget allocation. More enterprises are looking at ways to control their data better to not just make their data initiatives more effective but also to optimize the associated infrastructure costs. It's fascinating to see how technology initiatives that have been around for a while now continue to remain in focus, even as they evolve to suit shifting enterprise requirements. #Cybersecurity #CloudComputing #DataManagement #DataGovernance
