The pandemic forced government agencies to adapt rapidly. During the past 12 months, government IT teams have been busy enabling remote work, implementing cloud migration and digital transformation projects and securing an ever-expanding perimeter. Yet while 2020 ushered in significant change from a federal IT perspective, it’s merely the beginning.
Mega-trends like elastic cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence and the internet of things were converging with dramatic effect before the pandemic accelerated adoption. The forced mass shift to remote work simply sped up a transformation that was already underway, making many new technologies non-negotiable. As a result, the shifts that started in 2020 will snowball in 2021 and beyond. Here are five tech trends that all federal IT pros should have on their radar.

GLOVERSVILLE Organizers of a code blue shelter at the former YWCA on Bleecker Street plan to hand out blankets and socks on Saturday as a way to aid the homeless and community members in need while the emergency winter shelter remains unable to open so far this season.
Mike Shrader, who serves as the chair of the Center of Hope advisory board that is organizing the emergency shelter with the Gloversville Free Methodist Church, said Wednesday that shelter organizers came up with the idea to offer blankets and socks as a way to help community members in need get through the cold winter months after the Zoning Board of Appeals rejected their application to overturn Building Inspector David Fox’s determination that the shelter is not allowed under city zoning code.
