Nimble thinking affords organizations the ability to act and respond quickly amid evolving circumstances, and it’s key to both cloud adoption and capitalizing on cloud capabilities. Unfortunately, nimble thinking can be tough for federal agencies to integrate into operations that are subject to regulations and scrutiny.
Federal agencies have made progress on cloud adoption, but as top researchers over the past few years have pointed out, many are still struggling. It’s hard to blame them; despite overtures around acquisition reform and contracting agility, too often decision-makers remain saddled with decades-old processes that treat security hardware as the same kind of resource as a fighter jet.
