Tech Market Insights and Analysis
Who else is buying across the government? What are the common requirements? Case Study of Cyber.
If you are in government, knowing who to coordinate with for something you may also be working on is difficult to say the least. For example, did you know there are over 50 programs focused on drones? If you are a supplier, knowing which programs have the use cases you can address is also challenging.
This case study on Embedded Cyber demonstrates how AI can be used to identify demand and common requirements across the government (and potential customers if you are a supplier). The picture below shows over 121 unique program offices buying cyber across the federal government, broken down by their specific focus.
