With a tangible evolution in the data culture happening in government today, we are seeing better collaboration in the cloud, enabling enhanced data sharing between agencies. But the right cloud solutions don’t come pre-built. So how do federal agencies ensure they’re getting the right cloud solutions? This is where federal systems integrators play an important role. The Federal Data Strategy 2020 Action Plan is a driver of this evolution, along with systems integrators building data collaboration solutions the right way from the start, which offers the scale and capabilities that legacy systems don’t provide. These were the key themes of a recent Government Technology Insider conversation with Nick Speece, Chief Federal Technologist for Snowflake, who discussed how government can enhance data collaboration and scale with the right cloud-based solutions.
