While cloud providers and data analytics firms are proliferating across markets and landscapes, what distinguishes one from another? How can you know which one holds the keys to your agency’s digital transformation?
The reality is that no matter how slick the advertising, how pervasive the presence across conferences and webcasts, or how high the C-suite’s former government offices … it’s the offerings that matter most. Are they thoughtful and well-crafted solutions designed to effectively meet needs with minimal friction? Are the teams composed of top-tier talent, skilled not only in their technical trade but in working with public-sector clients?
Do they offer the flexibility, agility, and end-to-end coverage needed to achieve your mission as it weathers a constantly, rapidly evolving landscape? Can they be your advocate?
These are big, complicated questions with wide-ranging and equally complex answers. However, they’re important questions to keep in mind when you’re trying to determine the best partner in building and expanding an enterprise data strategy and platform that will serve your agency effectively and dutifully for years to come.
