AWS Cloud for State and Local Governments
Creating equity for citizens through technology
The digital divide—the economic, educational, and social inequalities between those who have internet access and those who do not—has existed for decades. To close it, local governments are turning to the cloud to better meet constituents where they are. Join a panel of local leaders to learn about the future of the digital divide closure movement, including best practices for successful partnerships and funding resources.
State and local governments are making a difference with cost-effective, scalable, secure, and flexible Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud infrastructure.
With AWS, even the largest organizations can benefit from the fastest pace of innovation, the broadest and deepest functionality, the most secure computing environment, and proven operational expertise.
