Description
Most agencies are not undergoing wholesale financial modernization; they are just trying to keep their diverse systems up-to-date. Through agency lessons learned and success stories, stay ahead of the technology curve and learn how modernizing systems affects budget, accounting, reporting, procurement, travel and more.
Key Take-aways
• Best practices gained from experience can help leaders manage during an upgrade.
• Since overlapping issues occur when multiple systems are upgraded simultaneously, certain issues must be addressed before making platform or technology changes.
• Change management of both people and process is critical, even during minor changes.
Learning Objectives
Understand primary considerations and risks to address along a regular upgrade path. If it has been a while since your agency upgraded a legacy system, take time to consider the major issues it creates. Gain insights into specific considerations related to the cloud and as-a-service platforms.
