Recent research has found that artificial intelligence technology is expected to remain a major priority for federal agencies. While the COVID pandemic response added urgency to the development of agencies' IT and AI capabilities, these technologies are rooted in agencies' long-term IT and R&D strategic plans. The Federal Artificial Intelligence Landscape, 2022 report, produced by Deltek's Federal Market Analysis team, examines the major budgetary, policy, acquisition and workforce issues influencing federal AI priorities. That research has found that as government mission requirements grow, federal agencies are seeking ways to maximize the use of the vast data sets they collect and store. Artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies have emerged as key solutions enabling agencies to improve mission effectiveness, stretch workforce capacity, combat waste, fraud and abuse and drive operational efficiencies.

Last year, at Insight 2018 in Dallas TX, Deltek committed to investing in emerging technologies to improve the user experience at every stage of the project lifecycle. We continue to develop these efforts to help streamline work, save time and addresses challenges within your project-based business. We've been busy delivering on our promise and we're excited to share with some of the latest technologies that will add additional purposeful innovation into Deltek's solutions for project-based businesses. No one likes to create an expense report – ever – but it's a must-have in a world where they are required for billing and auditing purposes. Our responsibility to the market is to make this process as quick and easy without giving up the necessary controls to meet your business requirements.

The future of federal IT belongs to CIOs who can build flexible, nimble organizations able to maximize the advantage of existing technologies like cloud services and automated machine intelligence while laying the groundwork for a range of emerging technologies on the horizon. That's according to a new report on government technology trends for 2017 published Wednesday by Deloitte. Researchers identified eight technologies they believe have an opportunity to disrupt and change the way the federal government leverages information, data and software over the next two years. Some are a continuation of existing trends that are already established, like IT consolidation and greater reliance on cloud-based software and services. Others, like artificial intelligence, mixed reality and nanotechnology veer more into the outer edges of what is currently possible today, but may have far more relevance a few years down the line.
