How can government organisations escape the legacy modernisation trap and move to secure, cloud-native services without the risk of a costly big-bang replacement?

Government IT estates are under unprecedented pressure. Between mounting technical debt, the ending of vendor support for ageing systems, retiring experts taking undocumented business logic with them, and the urgent need to meet modern accessibility and security compliance, "doing nothing" is an escalating risk.

This interactive, peer-focused workshop explores how Central Government organisations are bypassing the "modernisation trap." Discover how to execute a governed, two-step journey: consolidating isolated legacy workflows onto a secure, cloud-native baseline, and incrementally modernising them with full data lineage and auditability.

Attendees will leave with:

  • Avoiding the "Modernisation Trap" - why rip-and-replace fails and how a governed, two-step approach delivers lower-risk legacy migration
  • An Incremental Modernisation Roadmap - moving from legacy baseline to cloud-native with full data lineage and compliance intact
  • AI as a Controlled Accelerator - using parser agents to surface undocumented business logic, with human-in-the-loop governance throughout

Facilitators include:

- Rizwana Parveen, Director and SRO – Public Authorities Fraud, Error & Recovery Act, Department for Work and Pensions

- David Andrews, Chief Engineering and Platform Officer, HM Revenue & Customs

- Tommaso Spinelli, Cloud & Platforms Service Owner, Government Digital Service

- Nick Spodofora, Head of Public Sector, OutSystems
