The Commonwealth has always been a leader in technology and today, more than ever, it has an opportunity to achieve its vision through innovative approaches and advancement in partnerships, technologies and strong business fundamentals. The economic and political demands on the Commonwealth will evolve over the coming years and departments, agencies and local governments will be forced to not only do more with less – they must be innovative and flexible and develop business models and use new technology in ways which are "out of the box".

Greg Baroni, President of PA based Unisys Global Public Sector practice, will explore best practices of new technologies, creative approaches to partnerships, and tools for measuring performance from within the Commonwealth, at the federal government level, as well as other state and local governments.
