In order to deliver on their missions, public agencies and departments must modernize IT to improve citizen services, streamline operational inefficiencies, drive research and innovation, and enable data collaboration across and beyond organizational lines. Unfortunately, the ability of public sector organizations to generate value from data is hindered by several challenges, including technical delays caused by legacy IT infrastructure, policy roadblocks, and institutional status quos. The public sector needs a protected, scalable, and flexible platform to centralize, govern, and securely share mission-critical data.
