The Federal Challenge
The federal government must deal with two connected, yet separate data-centric conditions that challenge leadership’s ability to make intelligent, data-driven decisions: mission assurance and readiness.
On one hand, the government is creating and ingesting data at an unprecedented rate. The Internet of Things (IoT), connected “smart” devices, critical applications, back-office systems and logistics-linked RFID tags are constantly interacting and collecting thousands of gigabytes of data. According to IDC, there were 2 billion devices in 2006 with a projected 200 billion in 2020 and 90 percent of the world’s data was created in the last two years. This tsunami of data overwhelms the government’s ability to manage, protect, effectively find, parse and use data in an efficient/effective way. Plus doing so is extremely expensive, and the problem will only intensify.
The immediate need to make intelligent, data-driven decisions has never been greater. Every agency is required to have a rapid but accurate COVID-19 response with regard to mission readiness. Mission-centric examples include mobility status/availability—workers at risk, workers with medical backgrounds and employees in mission-critical positions. What impact will this era of “working from home” impose on the agency’s mission to support veterans, hospitals, medical trial research and outcomes, just to name a few. What is your agency’s priority? And where is the data in this current state of, “We need it now”?
How to Get Started
Addressing these problems calls for enterprise-scale data governance. Effective data governance begins with understanding what data you have and where it resides. In other words, there is a need for a real-time inventory and data catalog capable of expanding at enterprise scale. Consider the following key functionality of any such solution:
- Scale and growth—Software and appliances capable of accommodating the agency’s current enterprise scale (volume) and future growth to the multi-exabyte scale.
- Data-centric and IT agnostic—The ability to catalog and track all data types, including structured and unstructured data, file/block or object-stored data, imagery, video and voice in any/all formats and in any/all storage infrastructures.
- Broad, unified data governance
- Visibility—The ability to see and report on all data types, usage frameworks and storage locations.
- Accessibility—Defined access and storage paths that include trusted, authorized permissions.
- Intelligence—Organized and metadata-tagged data that enables you to make data-driven decisions within your agency’s mission context.
- Linked—Synchronized data that provides the right data across multiple applications and is highly available anytime, anywhere. Streamlined big data analytics that delivers quality data insights that support your agency’s mission.
- Trusted—Verified data integrity and protection that includes cyber-defense and disaster protection/recovery.
- Security—The ability to build a dynamic data management strategy that increases your agency’s security posture and ensures your data is available when you need it, protected across the enterprise and provides insights that help make data-driven decisions and reduce costs while optimizing the infrastructure.
- Policy-aligned—Intelligent, coordinated data policies and best practices that support the Federal Data Strategy 2020 Action Plan.
