Jay MacMillian, Executive Vice President at Booz Allen shares his ideas on digital transformation for the federal government. The interview covers the role of the cloud, citizen experience, and the steps to take for the federal government to move forward.

When it comes to moving to the cloud, Jay Macmillan observes that many agencies get transfixed by point solutions. He suggests that a better approach is to take a comprehensive view to the issue of cloud architecture. When that is done, the concerns of ending up in a point solution silo can be avoided.

Further, when an agency adopts the wider view, it gives them the ability to structure systematically. The idea here is to expect a change in future enterprise architecture renditions. That way, costs will be reduced when applications move in or out of a hybrid cloud.
