Homeland Security is a complex mission, one that is both vast in scale and broad in scope, and this creates a large volume of data that can help provide insight into operations and strategic decisions. From disaster preparedness to counterterrorism, Federal employees rely heavily on an abundance of data to assess problems accurately and implement effective solutions.
The Federal government has been making significant strides in technology modernization, shifting its focus from addressing only the most critical needs to becoming more agile, customer-centric, and innovative. As government agencies transition from an era dominated by the necessity of migrating their data and applications to cloud-based platforms, mission leaders are now turning their attention to emerging technologies like data visualization, customer experience improvement, low-code software tools, and artificial intelligence (AI).
Arc Aspicio achieved its second Capability Maturity Model Integration Services (CMMI-SVC) Level 3 Certification on September 29, 2023.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning technologies have steadily increased in number and capability over the past 10 years. They are much more accessible to Government leaders, staff, and policy makers due to the popular “Large Language Models” such as ChatGPT, Bing, Bard, and others.
Intentional collaboration can be the difference between simply completing a task and using innovative ideas to drive long-lasting change. When people come together to share their insights and perspectives, Government agencies can thrive and instill a culture where leaders engage with and listen to employees. In turn, these environments lead to more commitment from employees, as well as better Government agency relationships that help promote working towards strong solutions.
According to the Harvard Business Review, the average worker has attended 13.5% more meetings since the COVID-19 pandemic, with many held online. Given the Federal government’s partial shift to remote work when feasible, it is increasingly important to consider how teams can enhance the effectiveness and engagement of online meetings.
