In this interview, we speak with Colonel Sheri Jones & Mr. Dan O’Connor on the “Digital Transformation” occurring within the Air Force JAG Corps. We discuss why and how the digital transformation is underway, offer some historical context, then move into discussion on applications, the design process, migration to cloud, and even touch upon how this digital transformation impacts the culture of the Corps as a whole.
