Government agencies are under growing pressure to embrace AI. But for organizations managing sensitive data, there’s a catch: how do you take advantage of advanced AI capabilities without sending mission-critical information to the public cloud? That challenge is stopping many promising AI initiatives before they can scale. Concerns about unpredictable cloud costs, data sovereignty requirements,Read… Read more »
Federal agencies have spent the last decade building the data infrastructure needed to understand past performance. The next strategic advantage, however, will come from transforming enterprise data into predictive decision intelligence through Enterprise Digital Twins that allow leaders to simulate mission impacts before implementing major policy, operational, workforce, or technology decisions.
From water treatment plants and public utilities to traffic management systems, communities rely on operational technology (OT) every day. These systems help deliver essential public services, but they also present a unique cybersecurity challenge. OT environments often include specialized and legacy equipment that can be difficult to identify, manage, and secure using traditional IT tools.Read… Read more »
Artificial intelligence is evolving. For years, organizations have used AI for IT Operations (AIOps) to help monitor systems, identify issues and recommend solutions. Now, a new approach is emerging: agentic AI, which moves beyond analysis and into action, helping organizations not only understand problems, but also resolve them. From Insight to Action AIOps was designedRead… Read more »
Using geolocation data, the Baltimore Police Department has transformed how it anticipates, responds to, and prevents crime — by providing integrated, spatial, timely data.
For years, government modernization has focused on digitization and automation, but a new phase is taking shape. It’s called intelligent modernization. A Featured Contributor explains what it means, why it’s important and what lies ahead.
Government agencies face many challenges, e.g., take advantage of AI and other new tech, do more despite limited resources, overcome legacy IT, close employee skill gaps and strengthen cyber defenses. Dan Cole and Tai Phan, who lead Oklahoma’s new IT strategy, discuss its key elements — and why it may be a model for other… Read more »
Space systems are rapidly evolving from national assets into globally interconnected critical infrastructure that supports communications, navigation, AI, defense, and other sectors. As this accelerates, so do cybersecurity threats to satellites and orbital infrastructure. Government must begin treating orbital infrastructure as part of the strategic digital backbone of modern civilization.
Rancho Mirage uses GIS to uncover wireless coverage gaps. The city’s maps of cellular performance helped residents understand service quality, guide infrastructure planning, and accelerate collaboration with wireless carriers to expand reliable connectivity across a fast-growing desert resort community.
Government is moving fast, but speed alone is not delivering better outcomes. As AI and automation accelerate decision-making, a gap is emerging between how quickly decisions are made and how well they are governed, understood, and sustained. This article explores how leaders can close the decision gap by strengthening clarity, consistency, and control across policy,… Read more »
