Stable, reliable, and cost-effective data pipelines are now an absolute prerequisite for real-time automation tasks like anomaly detection, forecasting, recommendation, remediation, etc.

Better search can help government serve people when they need it most

As citizens, we interact with the government at various points in our lives.

In fact, data is so hot right now that even the value of oil has been told to go sit in the corner of the room, be quiet and color. Yep, you too King Cash. This also explains why your data by itself, as a standalone asset, is not considered as ‘valuable’ as you would think.
