Government organizations use data to create valuable insights about their services, operations, resources and, increasingly, to make data available to citizens. To drive innovation, uncover efficiencies, and help refine processes, agencies are modernizing their operations and seeking new ways to use intelligent data. By moving to the cloud, agencies can take advantage of the most advanced technology available while eliminating the upfront capital expense of buying hardware and software, and removing the burden of software setup, maintenance, and upgrades.
