MicroStockHub/Getty Images The IT Modernization Mission Change is seldom easy. Yet for government and public sector executives, the need to modernize has never been greater, as there is a growing digital divide between constituent expectations and what many governments can offer. The COVID-19 pandemic shifted the dynamic when it came to the digital imperative for government. More than ever, citizens are demanding a more connected government with integrated services, relevant experiences and self-driven service connection. Whether it’s paying taxes online or applying for benefits anytime and anywhere with the ease experienced in other aspects of their lives, citizens are seeking a government that is as modern as the technology they use in their daily lives. A failure to move forward with modernization efforts will only lead to a decline in government agencies’ ability to deliver services and potentially reinforce the prevailing view of government as inefficient, out of touch and ambivalent to the needs of its constituents. Today, some agencies are relying on legacy systems running programs that are more than a quarter century old and can no longer be supported or updated. Converting systems and applications of that age, scale and complexity to modern cloud-based solutions is difficult. […]

SysKit Report Highlighting Effects of Digital Transformation on IT Admins and Governance Landscape Released CAMBRIDGE, England, Jan. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — SysKit , a SaaS software company, has published a report on the effects of digital transformation on IT admins and the current governance landscape. The survey found that 40% of companies experienced a data leak in the previous year, which can have severe consequences on an organization’s efficiency and result in large fines, downtime, and loss of business-critical certifications and customers. Improper implementation of zero trust and full trust approaches can lead to data leaks. Despite their drawbacks, 50% of respondents consider the full trust approach to governance optimal, and 68% believe the zero trust approach limits collaboration capabilities. "We believe both approaches have disadvantages. Organizations lose amazing collaboration features with zero trust, and with full trust, you give up visibility and control over resources in the environment. That’s why we developed a product for Microsoft 365 tenants that cancels out the negative sides of both approaches," said Toni Frankola, CEO of SysKit. The research, conducted in November, surveyed 205 US IT professionals responsible for managing organizations’ IT environments, and accurately represents the targeted population. The survey also […]

IT Operations management (ITOM) – a framework that gives IT teams the tools to centrally monitor and manage applications and infrastructure across multi-premise environments – has been the foundation of enterprise IT infrastructure and applications for the last 30 years. It has been the backbone that ensures technology stacks are operating optimally to provide timely business value and keep employees engaged and productive by maintaining the availability of core applications. But the recent acceleration of digital transformation across global industries and emergence of multi-cloud environments has introduced a new level of complexity. While flexibility, elasticity, and ease of use are benefits that make starting with the cloud an enticing prospect, ongoing operation and management can quickly become difficult to oversee. As the business scales across infrastructure and applications deployments in a multi-cloud environment, so does the complexity inherent in diverse cloud operating models and tools, and distributed application architecture and deployment. Many IT professionals also lack technical or management skills in these areas. According to a recent VMware survey of tech executives and their priorities for digital momentum, 73% reported a push to standardize multi-cloud architectures. The digital transformation and transition to multi-cloud environments to bring the best technology […]

Play is an important part of children’s learning and development. While it generally evokes a picture of a small child running, jumping, and shouting, the benefits that play offers in promoting early development and better health outcomes extend far beyond childhood. In fact, playful learning—an area of research that examines how children learn best through playful exchanges—shares many of the same core foundations as the study of intergenerational learning—a body of research involving older and younger generations coming together in the service of mutually-beneficial learning experiences. As the COVID-19 pandemic introduced new layers to our understanding of the importance of social connection for a range of outcomes, researchers have an opportunity to look to the future of the playful learning and intergenerational learning movements together—what they share and how they can be leveraged jointly to support social interactions that foster well-being throughout life. Playful Learning Landscapes support enriching interactions and promote learning As a natural medium for fostering rich interactions, play creates opportunities for children to develop language skills , engage in collaboration , test theories about how the world works, and even develop better self-regulation . Child development experts, recreation and play professionals, and educators have long examined […]
