Welcome to Carpe Datum’s weekly newsletter, the Federal Data Prospector (Vol. 4, Issue 15) which happens to be the only publication of its kind dedicated exclusively to Data and Analytics companies who share our passion for serving the Public Sector. As regular readers know, after processing a multitude of compelling GovCon solicitations and an even larger number of news stories each week, we try to make sense from this massive amount of information by identifying any potential patterns or trends that may emerge – and this week is no exception – with the following key themes emerging: due diligence, background screening, facial recognition, and misinformation. We hope our newsletter helps you make sense of the Government marketplace and enables your company to find more new business!
Please take the time to share our newsletter with anyone whom you think might find it useful and/or interesting - Click here to subscribe.
