September - 20196GOVERNMENT CIO OUTLOOKEDITORIALToward a New Era of GovernanceThe advancement in cloud technologies has enabled the government and the public sector agencies to move away from the legacy paper-driven workflow. Leveraging SaaS-based cognitive applications, the agencies can streamline processes and bridge the communication siloes with their customers and partners. With the rapidly growing volumes of data, decision-making in the government sector has become a time-consuming process. Addressing this challenge, big data analytics aids the government sector in decision-making by understanding data patterns and relationship between varied data sets. Further, big data has shifted from focusing on reporting and decision support to prediction with the utilization of AI, machine, and deep learning. With these technologies, the public sector can decide on various aspects like identifying tax-evasion patterns, sorting through infrastructure data, or sifting through health and social-service data to prioritize cases for welfare of the society and support for efficient performance and improved outcomes while cutting down the costs.With time, many government agencies are moving from `cloud-first policy' to `cloud-only policy' for data access from anywhere, at any time. Moreover, predictive security in the cloud has enhanced cybersecurity by collecting unfiltered endpoint data, analyzing them, and using the power of the cloud to protect the nation against unknown attacks. However, government institutions find it difficult to choose the right cloud service provider for improved governance. Apropos to this scenario, we present to you Govt CIO Outlook's special edition on top cloud consulting/services companies with an objective to provide an in-depth view of conventional restraints, services, and critical strategies pertaining to the cloud landscape. We hope this edition will help you in steering your business endeavors. Let us know your thoughts!September - 12- 2019, volume 05 - Issue 13 (ISSN 2644-2604) Published by ValleyMedia, Inc.
