Data is growing exponentially. IDC predicts that over the next five years, data will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 21.2%, to more than 221,000 exabytes by 2026. Data is also everywhere – edge, core, and cloud. Most importantly, effective data capture, security, management, and analysis are critical to agency missions. Federal agencies must be able to keep pace with growing data volumes and leverage emerging technologies to create data-driven insights that support mission objectives.

This segment of the New and Next Virtual Series: Exploring the Government Tech Revolution explores how Federal agencies can rise above the data deluge today and well into the future.

The webinar addresses this issue from two important perspectives:

  • How artificial intelligence, machine learning, and automation applied across edge, core, and cloud can accelerate data-driven innovation
  • How Federal agencies can anticipate, gain, and maintain the skills they need to capture, manage, secure, and analyze growing volumes of data

Federal agencies are collecting more data than ever, across edge, core, and cloud. Used effectively, data can provide tactical advantages, improve the citizen experience, bolster employee morale, conserve budget dollars, and so much more. But data volumes are already greater than human capacity to capture and analyze them.

This panel will analyze how:

  • Automation of data operations can deliver real-time insights and data-driven experiences
  • Modern data platforms can accelerate AI-driven innovation

Across the Federal government, agencies are striving to harness vast troves of data to gain insights that will help them meet mission-critical objectives. To do this, they need skilled IT and data science professionals, which are in chronically short supply – and often struggle to maintain and grow their skills as technology evolves.

This panel will analyze how:

  • Agencies can identify skill gaps and upskill and reskill employees to fill them
  • Agencies can build a culture of continuous learning to keep pace with technological change
