February 18

The federal workforce is at a pivotal crossroads. The federal workforce needs to mature past the debate of traditional office space versus the home office. It needs to enable face-to-face collaboration, team interaction, and direct leadership while remaining fully functional during planned travel as well as unexpected events. Including across all levels of confidentiality, security, and classification.
To make this happen, we need a secure mobility evolution. This webinar will explore why secure mobility is essential, driven by trends like distributed work, digital transformation, and the rise of digital-native generations. The discussion will highlight what forward-leaning agencies are doing now to enable secure mobility from anywhere. It will highlight how agencies can modernize security practices, prioritize adaptability, and leverage public-private collaboration to address emerging threats and empower a mobile, digital-first workforce.
Join us to uncover strategies for fostering a more secure, flexible, and effective government workforce. A workforce that can work from anywhere.

Emerging Technology Talk
AI for the Rest of Government
We have heard all about the highlights from agencies that are leaning forward to deploy GenAI. These are the voices that are dominating the Federal AI Use Case Inventory. But what about agencies who are still in the experimental stage of AI, or ones that still feel stuck? These agencies may be short on staff with AI expertise, or they don’t feel comfortable exposing their sensitive data to AI systems, or they are not getting the buy-in from their employees. OpenText has worked with a range of public sector agencies – from the ones who are still exploring AI, up to agencies that have scaled AI at advanced levels. The session will highlight OpenText’s decades of AI capabilities, including AI-powered enterprise search and AI-fueled application security as a service.
