What is Data Readiness? Reposting and amplifying my comment to highlight two points about CORAS: First, CORAS maps to Department of the Navy Chief Information Officer (DON CIO) Information Superiority Vision 2.0 uniquely by securely optimizing a range of bread-and-butter PEO and PM decisions: POM, UFRs, divestments, modernization, data call response, program oversight, S&T portfolio management… This makes current data orders of magnitude more useful for each decisions. Our SmartLane, SmartList, SmartBoard, AI NLP, What If, Driver Trees, and Data Chain features are interconnected in a matrix of value that grows the more you use it. Second, CORAS also creates rich new data, making a new class of decisions available. This includes our AI and ML and applies especially to complex data-to-decision workflows such as mission thread development, Agile Combat Employment, rapid tech insertion, SCRM, and Vanguard investments to cross the “valley of death.” CORAS SaaS does by of these things with a community of amazing and successful customers, and by building on what works already. Standard reporting tools like PowerBI and Qlik become even more useful, as CORAS gives the program workforce more tools to enrich and clarify the picture leaders want to see. Data Readiness is about optimizing data for the decisions you want to make, both bread-and-butter and more advanced stuff. As Justin Fanelli said clearly this week, we are all racing to the Davidson Window (look it up!) and have no time to waste. #LFG

The DOD recently released new proposed rules for CMMC 2.0, which aim to protect sensitive #nationalsecurity information. While these new rules include special enclaves to avoid increased overhead costs for small businesses, further clarification is needed to fully support their participation. Small businesses can often lack the required support and resources needed to compete with large companies, as the latter can take on additional overhead without being significantly affected. Ingram Micro Public Sector is one of the leading distributors helping #smallbusinesses remain competitive in the government marketplace. Whether it’s innovative secure and compliant solutions, financial support or contract assistance, our deeply experienced public sector team is committed to supporting small businesses. https://lnkd.in/e3yRXskM
