SIIA Public Sector Innovation Group: Where Innovation Meets Government

Over the last two years, the Administration has made great strides in fostering the growth of cloud computing to seize the economic benefits of this transformative technology, leveraging this move to create a government that is more cost effective and delivers better services to its citizens.

With the issuance of the Cloud First Policy, the Shared Services Strategy and more recently the Digital Government Strategy, the federal government continues to refine its overall IT strategy. SIIA PSIG members are helping to drive the policy underlying these changes through thought leadership, policy forums and one-on-one meetings.

In this ever-changing marketplace, it is essential that software and IT services contractors are connected and positioned for growth. The PSIG can help you and your company understand the changes taking place in the federal IT market today and prepare you for future success.

What is the PSIG?

PSIG is the newest division of SIIA and has quickly become the leading voice for government technology innovation and a well-respected thought leader in the public sector IT space. The division is comprised of innovative software and IT services firms seeking to take advantage of the evolving Federal investment in Cloud-related technologies. The PSIG builds off the themes of SIIA's annual Cloud/Gov Conference that has tracked the transformation of Government IT procurement over the past six years.
