OVERVIEW

Data is a key strategic asset to government agencies. Accessed effectively and deployed strategically, data has the power to unlock new insights, enhance decision-making, deliver cost savings, and ultimately help agencies meet their missions. However, as the wave of data threatens to become a deluge, the imperative to turn data into actionable information intensifies. Additionally, as transformative technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning become a bigger part of agency IT strategies, how should agencies modernize their infrastructure to effectively support these new technologies?

On October 29, industry and government leadereds learned how a modernized approach to storing and accessing data can transform government operations. Government leaders and Broadcom experts will explored how agencies are transforming disparate sources of data into a strategic asset - allowing military and civilian agencies to operate more efficiently and execute their missions more effectively.
