But among all of Maryland's challenges, none have been more daunting than client identification and establishing basic interagency interfaces.

Rafael López, ACYF commissioner, and other Federal personnel will discuss the advantages and opportunities provided through this new approach to how systems are procured. California staff will provide an overview of what is happening as they move forward with their IT modernization using this agile procurement approach.
