Overview

September 28

State and local agencies are under enormous pressure to deliver results faster and more efficiently – and to make better use of data to drive decision-making and serve constituents.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how one local agency – the health department in Washington, D.C. – upgraded its legacy platforms to a modernized system built in the cloud. Working with Oracle and partner Tharseo IT, the team migrated its enterprise applications to the cloud and built a "data bridge" solution to unify data in a single environment.
