The era of big data is here. And with it, agencies have the opportunity to make faster, better decisions to improve mission performance. But there’s a problem. The volume of data is overwhelming and traditional databases and methodologies aren’t up to the task to manage, analyze and share more disparate data sets quickly and securely while accelerating agencies’ mission. The good news, however, is that every agency and organi...

The government’s current IT trajectory is not sustainable, and DOD and other agencies must modernize their systems to make use of new data available to them, handle current and future security threats and maximize their returns on IT investments. The government spends about 80 percent of its $80-plus billion IT budget on legacy systems, leaving precious few resources available to modernize systems and test, develop and keep pace with ne...
