Embracing a decentralized modern enterprise IT ecosystem means accepting that mission critical workloads don’t just run inside of the data center. Modern customer and employee experience demands from the business are rapidly forcing IT leaders to adapt to a hybrid environment approach.

Application and data are increasingly spread among multiple agencies, legacy data centers, hyperscaler clouds, software as a service (SaaS) providers, and the operational technology Edge. These assets must be synthesized, secured, orchestrated, monitored and maintained over time. Managing a decentralized ecosystem comes with challenges and complexities. The path forward requires a new strategy, the right investments, and trusted partners.

For state and local agencies, the rewards can be huge – positively impacting critical areas including Health and Human Services, Transportation and Public Safety by optimizing workforce, increasing security, improving cloud cost-effectiveness, reducing legacy application technical debt, and accelerating time-to-business value.

During this webinar, a panel of topic experts, led by Red Hat's Technology Advisor and Chief Architect Kevin Tunks, took the virtual stage to explore what it takes to build a secure modern hybrid ecosystem that serves state and local government needs today and into the future.
