Networks are the central nervous systems of the federal government’s data and technology and they have become the foundation of the services they provide to millions of citizens every day. With the awarding of the Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions (EIS) contract in 2017 and an explosion of new technologies available, the time to transform government IT telecommunications into powerful, secure, enterprise-grade networks is here.
Modern IT demands coupled with tight budgetary resources pose daunting challenges for agencies in need of high-performing, resilient and secure network architectures. With the transition to the EIS vehicle, however, agencies are now presented with the opportunity to adopt evolutionary telecommunication services that will benefit both the government and its citizens.
Join CenturyLink and Hughes as we feature candid conversations with federal and industry experts on the future of federal networks and America’s digital infrastructure. We’ll discuss:
