Advana, which is the Pentagon’s primary data analytics platform, is on a temporary hold as it is undergoing an improvement in its infrastructure.
This improvement will help in handling the spike in demand and further help in enhancing the tech architecture of the platform to ensure that it meets the needs of the Department of Defence (DOD) and its clients.
The person responsible for overseeing this effort is Radha Iyengar Plumb, the Pentagon’s new chief data and artificial intelligence officer.
Until the Pentagon selects which programmes will be including in the redesigned infrastructure, users will have to manage with the tools at their disposal. Plumb acknowledged the potential disruption but underlined the significance of developing an effective and long-lasting enterprise solution.
Advana was first created for the purpose of handling financial data, and it is currently a very crucial part of all of its data and analytics initiatives, including monitoring assistance for Ukraine. However, the architecture of the platform has not been able to keep up with the increasing demand, despite its importance.
The planned changes are basically intended for enhancing Advana’s onboarding process for third-party software development and new use cases, as well as accelerate the company’s user growth. Though some intended uses may be harmed by the development delay, the Pentagon says that current services won’t be jeopardized and that eventually the changes will help the Department fulfill its objective of using data and AI at all levels.
