Technology platforms have become a key tool for agencies looking for better ways to deploy effective digital services to the public quickly and securely. But challenges can sometimes arise when adopting or scaling a platform.
That’s why we’ve developed the Ad Hoc Platform Smells Playbook.
Come and learn from Ad Hoc platform experts about platform governance, how to manage common platform issues, and get a preview of Ad Hoc’s newest product, the Groundwork Delivery Platform, now available on NASA SEWP. You’ll walk away from this webinar with strategies to help you get the most out of your platform so that you can more efficiently deploy your digital services for the public.
The webinar will also include a lively discussion with our platform experts to help you identify and resolve key platform smells early to save your team time and work in the long run. We hope to see you there!
