Welcome to Carpe Datum’s weekly newsletter, the Federal Data Prospector (Vol. 3, Issue 26). The topics that continue to be top-of-mind for not only our federal government data savants but also their private-sector peers are identity management, data security, economic development, and the technology modernization fund or TMF. Luckily for you -- all of those topics, plus many more -- are actively being tracked and researched by your Carpe Datum team. So, dig in and see for yourself ... and, as always, pay it forward by sharing the wealth!
