2019 will be a transitional year for government funding as many programs reach the end of their mandates and will either need to be renewed or replaced by new ones. This cyclical nature of government funding can be challenging for SMEs to keep up with, but we can help you stay mindful of the top concepts you need to know.

From 22 December 2018 to 25 January 2019 the US government experienced the longest federal government shutdown in its history. This came as a result of a failure by both Republicans and Democrats to agree on $5.8 billion of funding for a wall at the Mexican border - a key promise made by Donald Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign. Although the 35-day standoff was eventually ended by the president by signing into law a funding package to temporarily reopen the federal government, congress have yet to broker a compromise on the border wall and the threat of another shutdown remains present.

State and local governments have access to a wealth of data, yet many agencies are still starved for valuable insights. Gaining insights from data can be a lengthy process – it requires a thorough understanding of and speedy access to data, the ability to analyze data and a method to present findings for further consumption. This process has been coined as ‘time to insight.’ As more agencies seek to leverage data, many are aiming to reduce the time this process takes. By treating data like software – ensuring it’s discoverable, accessible through an API, accretive and explainable – with cloud computing, agencies can make the data fast and gain faster insights to make better-informed decisions.
