Medicaid Unwinding: Leveraging Technology to Support Faster Redeterminations

Hosted by Digital Government Institute (DGI), you will hear from former CIO/CTO of the IRS, Terry Miholland, and Software AG Government Solutions' Darryn Graham in this on-demand webinar. The ongoing pandemic has highlighted the criticality of many Federal and State agencies' ability to quickly and accurately share data outside of their organization.  However, many agencies struggle to even share their data amongst the applications within their own portfolio.  In this webinar, we will explore how the IRS was able to liberate vast amounts of data "locked up" in legacy applications - freeing it for use all across the agency and beyond.

How the IRS Unlocked Data from Legacy Applications

Fractured data makes it harder for governments to react and respond to emergencies and natural disasters. And poorly integrated systems can thwart the public sector’s ability to deliver services to the citizens who need them. Even on a day-to-day basis, governments are filled with silos, fiefdoms and legacy IT networks that make it impossible to share data effectively.

Integrating IT systems cuts costs, improves efficiency and can save lives. Whether it’s emergency medical teams coordinating their response to COVID-19, public health agencies tracking hotspots in the opioid crisis, or even justice departments connecting dozens of networks to ensure public safety, data integration can transform government.

How Data-Sharing Saves Lives

Rationalizing an application portfolio is no longer the realm of elite organizations and it can no longer only be driven by cost conscious CIO’s.  The survivability of the enterprise rests in its ability to respond with certainty and agility in a constantly churning environment.  Rationalizing your application estate does result in streamlined IT processes and reduced costs.  The secret value unleashed in a well-executed application rationalization program is better measured in the elevated conversations it causes between the business and IT organizations, and in its ability to drive radical transformation.  A little disruption can go a long way!

Application Rationalization:  What to do when you don’t know what to do

The Mission of Health and Human Services(HHS) department is clear: Promoting well-being, ensuring safety, improving health, and enhancing the employment possibilities for the citizens served by the various agencies at every level of government. Accomplishing that mission, however, is often a challenging endeavor, as comprehensive data is not always available to support the efforts of those delivering the services. Achieving better access to this critical data is possible through effective and affordable data integration strategies.


This webinar will provide you with:

• Solutions for addressing new challenges to data sharing

• A comprehensive integration platform

• How to leverage legacy systems

The Future of HHS is Integrated

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.

Up your FITARA Score: Measure Data Quality and Completeness to Improve Results

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

Aligning Enterprise Architecture with Financial Management

The US Federal Government published an Application Rationalization Playbook to assist agencies on maximizing their IT investments.  The playbook was developed by the Cloud and Infrastructure Community of Practice (C&I CoP) as a practical approach for agencies to get started on their application rationalization journey. The playbook is based on industry best practices and adaptable for ready implementation within COTS Enterprise Architecture tools and IT Portfolio Management solutions.

Software AG Government Solutions uses its Alfabet EA/ITPM solution to organize and rationalize large application portfolios across the US Government and comes configured to support Application Rationalization and Consolidation. Alfabet is easily adjustable via configuration to be tailored to not just the CoP playbook but also further to agency specific assessment and scoring mechanisms.
 
In this webinar, we will examine the six phases in the playbook and demonstrate how Alfabet supports each phase.  As a workflow-enabled, fully integrated repository, Alfabet can incorporate metrics and measures from other systems to provide many perspectives that lead to rationalization activities or projects.
 
If you are an Application Portfolio Manager or an Enterprise Architect responsible for assessment and scoring for applications, you should plan on attending this webinar.
