Briefings Direct

In the past, data was secure and controlled. The bad news is that the data was limited by the firewall of personnel, technologies, and rigidity. Today, however, the demand is for just-in-time and inclusive data, moving away from a monolithic data systems to multiple sources of data on real-time activities, events, and inferences.
