Fireside Chats
Friday, June 26 11:00am-11:30am PST
The Accenture Insights Platform for Government (AIP IQ) brings together best-of-breed analytics and data management as a FedRAMP authorized, cloud-based service. AIP IQ enables federal agencies to more quickly and cost effectively implement and scale artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning programs addressing agency and mission-specific requirements.Databricks Unified Data Analytics Platform is now integrated into and accessible via AIP IQ. The means analysts and developers can now take advantage of Databricks’ industry-leading capabilities alongside a number of complementary tools within a single FedRAMP authorized environment.
Join Accenture’s Bryan Rich and David Lindenbaum as they share how federal agencies are capitalizing on the power of AIP IQ + Databricks. During this fireside chat, they will discuss how solution accelerators support popular federal use cases, the platform’s integrated architecture, and how federal agencies can take advantage of pay-as-you-go pricing. All of this works to significantly reduce the cost of advanced data science through the development of a federation of repeatable workflows and models.
Unified Data Analytics and AI in the Cloud
Friday, June 26 11:00am-11:30am PST
The opportunity to improve government operations and citizen services with data and AI is massive. In fact, the federal government earmarked over $1B dollars for AI initiatives in February of this year. Unfortunately, most government agencies and healthcare organizations are limited by inflexible legacy data warehouses and analytics architectures that create data silos leading to poor and disjointed analytics capabilities.
Today, every organization is faced with big data challenges. These challenges manifest more prevalently within federal government and healthcare organizations. They are compounded by regulations for handling sensitive information including Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Protect Health Information (PHI). To unlock the potential of big data, government agencies and healthcare organizations need a secure, modern analytics platform with the scale of the cloud.
Join Patrick Munis, Chief Executive Officer of NewWave, for an interactive fireside chat on how agencies can take advantage of all their data and build powerful predictive models with a unified approach to data and AI. In this talk, Patrick will share how NewWave (a premier systems integrator for the federal government) is delivering innovative analytics with a platform built on Azure Databricks for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) – the largest healthcare payer in the United States.
During the fireside chat, Patrick will discuss how Databricks enables the healthcare agency to break data silos and adapt a Data-as-a-Service culture without compromising the security and privacy of beneficiary data. The audience will have a chance to hear about the journey NewWave had with Databricks and Azure to bring Databricks onto Microsoft Azure Government (MAG).
