Security and governance are key attributes of any modernization effort, but the ability to integrate new solutions into existing systems is also essential.
IT are already seeing tremendous gains in productivity through new capabilities and efficiencies that previously weren’t possible.
Avoiding vendor lock-in
From our vantage point at Cloudera, success starts with having a comprehensive and independent data strategy, which includes an enterprise data platform where security and governance are key considerations and
key attributes from the start. There’s often a rush to get new
capabilities developed, and then after the fact, organizations try to backtrack and insert security and governance requirements for sensitive data. That approach is inefficient and often ineffective.
Instead, agencies can benefit by establishing a data strategy and data platform that protects them from vendor lock-in and
doesn’t discriminate against any types of data. Specifically, the strategy should encompass data at rest and in motion and have the flexibility to support current and future data formats so that agencies have the opportunity and ability to achieve the promise of AI.
