State and local governments require a high level of performance and reliability for the millions of people accessing their web applications every day. The talent shortage and lack of resources to train their staff on how to use new technologies prevents them from drawing valuable insights from modern IT environments.
IT infrastructure monitoring allows state and local governments to stay ahead of technology trends and face common challenges with intelligence and transparency. With manual configuration and expensive hardware in the past, government agencies have lessened workloads and are able to achieve digital transformation initiatives.
Trends in State and Local Government
Infrastructure, Process Automation, and Enabling a Hybrid Workforce
The shift to remote work and contactless services has driven the need to modernize the front-end services that residents touch and the back-end processes that support them. Remote work is here to stay. Now the open question is how does IT support and enable individuals to work efficiently long term?
Connectivity, Access, and Securing the “New Edge”
Ensuring that both communities and individuals have connectivity and the access that they need is a priority in the industry. How do CISOs and IT leaders secure the second wave in cybersecurity, where everyone is home and sharing networks with children on distance learning at the same time? How do you regain visibility and security control?
Operational and Managing Data With Budget and Cost Control
The importance of business analytics is on the rise, not just for contact tracing, but across all verticals and IT endeavors. How do companies unify and streamline disparate toolsets to drive down the total cost of ownership?
Redefining Organizational Management, Roles, and Skills
When we look at the remote and in-person workforce, what skill sets, training, roles, and hiring practices will evolve to meet this new reality? Teams need to rapidly adapt and support new cases with technology.
Challenges Faced by State and Local Government
Modernizing Public Services and Improving Application Performance at Scale
As government agencies seek to modernize their services, they face the challenge of safely replacing legacy systems that no longer meet their needs, and learning how to manage new, highly distributed infrastructure at scale. Government organizations have a unique responsibility to maintain a high level of performance for critical services across both cloud-based and hybrid environments.
Ensuring the Reliability of All Community Services
From mobile Medicare management applications to civic engagement platforms that enable local governments to efficiently organize community boards, millions of people access web applications supporting public services every day. This generates massive volumes of data that legacy systems oftentimes struggle to accommodate.
Standardizing Monitoring Across Organizations and Talent Shortage
Often, state and local companies lack adoption across new or multiple monitoring platform(s) as historical or institutional knowledge to learn from previous actions is not recorded. New and more junior teams find modern IT environments overwhelming and are not trained on how to properly communicate insights from monitoring solutions.
State and local companies lack the resources to train both IT staff and end-users about proprietary technology. New employees can’t draw valuable insights from modern IT environments because of poor alert curation, broken configurations, and a lack of recorded operational tips.
