A Strategic Approach to Leveraging Healthcare Data from Legacy Systems

A confluence of events has focused federal policymakers and stakeholders on the critical importance of modernizing and better managing IT systems across the federal enterprise.  The high-profile cybersecurity incidents involving SolarWinds and Microsoft and rapid expansion of telework by the federal workforce at the onset of the pandemic have increased attention on delivering modern, high quality IT services. 

Congress has also updated the Federal IT Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA) to put pressure on agencies to enhance their cybersecurity readiness and eliminate cybersecurity vulnerabilities.  Further, agencies must enhance their ability to use their own data to create efficiencies and conduct oversight of existing modernization plans.  These plans include the Modernizing Government Technology (MGT) Act, the Federal Data Strategy, and Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA), among other efforts that urge agencies to act.  

In this webinar, learn how Software AG’s Alfabet platform can drive improved cybersecurity oversight processes and risk mitigation efficiencies in your agency.

Digital Transformation is not just for Commercial entities. More and more citizens expect and demand digital interactions with government departments and agencies be just as robust and ubiquitous as they are within retail and other commercial industries. Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are core enablers of this digitalization, and organizations must manage these APIs as the key enterprise assets that they have become.
In this webinar, you will learn how to treat APIs as a strategic asset to ensure the right APIs are delivered in the right order, while avoiding potential pitfalls that can surface while trying to effectively govern the API inventory – and you will see how Software AG’s Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) platform ALFABET and API Management suite webMethods interoperate in a manner that enables the realization of an effective and efficient Full Lifecycle API Management approach. An approach that is business-driven to ensure APIs are well-aligned to the business strategies of the organization – and, through on-going planning, monitoring, and evaluating – avoids wasted time and effort developing APIs that have minimal strategic value.

The Business Value of Full Lifecycle API Management

In the looming shadows of the White House's Federal Data Strategy (and specifically the targeted pressures of the 2021 Action Plan), IT organizations within agencies are now being tasked to transition to operational conventions founded on the concepts of deploying consistent data infrastructures.  However, current systems of record are often decades-old, each with its own supporting personnel, technologies, and data stewardship logic.  Further, many agencies have already spent significant dollars on "big-bang" modernization efforts with the aim to facilitate a consistent data underpinnings...often with very little to show for it.  In this talk, Mr. Graham will explore an alternative to modernization that will accelerate the transition of Federal IT systems toward proactive evidence-based decisions based on consistent data infrastructures.’

Our supply chains are under tremendous pressure to adapt and change to meet the demands of flexibility, increased visibility, and introduce new capabilities. However, the way we connect our supply chain systems together, within the enterprise and across the supply chain, still primarily remains unchanged. Today we will look at how we got there, what is holding us back, and what are some key enablers to address this quickly by leveraging our existing systems. Lastly, we will look at a few different success stories.

Integrating for an Evolving Supply Chain

As agencies increasingly migrate operations to the cloud and look to move their computing off-prem, software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions are becoming more popular because of their benefits in speed and scalability. 

Hear from Drew Myklegard, executive director of demand management at Department of Veterans Affairs, and Chris Borneman, CTO of Software AG Government Solutions, in a GovFocus interview here.

How SaaS is Taking Shape at Veterans Affairs

In most organizations, you will often find many Management Disciplines all working diligently to oversee different aspects of the enterprise. But they often operate in a vacuum, as they are hobbled by lack of a robust integration mechanism for streamlining data sharing across their boundaries. Organizations need platforms that are “architected to integrate” to enable data-driven decision-making that leverages information across multiple disciplines.

In this webinar originally hosted by Digital Government Institute (DGI) and sponsored by Software AG Government Solutions, we look into one of the most critical collaborations for informed decision-making: the partnership between Financial Management and Enterprise Architecture (EA) Management, facilitated by the integration between Apptio, a leading Financial Management platform, and Alfabet, the leading EA platform.

Some of the highlights that will be discussed include:

•	Efficiencies achieved through Collaborative Enterprise Management (CEM)
•	Value of up-to-date for complete impact analysis and cost control & investment decisions
•	Transparent interoperability between Apptio and Alfabet
•	The open and scalable nature of the CEM framework

How to Unlock your Mainframe Data without Coding

Join our recording from the 2021 Federal Data Strategy Conference hosted by Digital Government Institute (DGI) with Software AG Government Solutions’ Mark Steinbacher and you will see how collaborating with EA significantly increases the likelihood of a successful Data Strategy realization.

Organizations across industries and the government have recognized that information is the “life-blood” of a successful enterprise and are mobilizing to truly treat data as an asset to ensure that success. Most organizations begin by defining a Data Strategy (DS) and then initiating organizational and operational change efforts to change the behavior toward their data. This is often where challenges surface due to not accounting for the myriad perspectives and dimensions that make up the complex enterprise eco-system. This is where Enterprise Architecture (EA) can help.

Some highlights of the webinar include:
•             The role and purpose of a Data Strategy
•             How a Data Strategy aligns to the EA mission
•             How collaborating with EA yields benefits
•             How NOT collaborating with EA could result in higher costs and lower realization success

How to Integrate your Mainframe Applications

Join our replay from the 2021 EA Conference hosted by Digital Government Institute (DGI) with Software AG Government Solutions’ Jeff Chancellor and you will learn how to ask the right questions to get the best value from your EA Solution.

Many EA solutions have been developed over the years, and it may surprise you that many are still following the approach of loading data and then generating a flurry of reports, often only a few columns different or the sorting parameters different.  This just promotes what can be called “report sprawl.”

Modern EA tools need to be data driven, and using strategic questions enables executives and planning teams helps guide the data collection activities by understanding what data is required to answer the questions.  Being data driven is a key differentiator that helps elevate successful EA teams because they anticipate the questions, or even better, they have the questions built into their EA tool.  In a survey of over 300 executives, 45 questions were the most common across the survey participants, and are now part of an EA Accelerator configuration from Software AG Government Solutions.  Not only do these questions present the right answers, it support drill-down into the details to see the data that answers the questions.  Using a layered construct  enables organizations to develop their own questions and surface them to the appropriate users.  This enables easier accessibility for executives to ask their questions from the platform rather than people, and they get the immediate benefit and insight to make better decisions for the future.
