services provider to federal, state and local government, today
announced that Prem Jadhwani, Senior Technologist and Solutions
Architect at GTSI, was selected as a Commissioner on the
TechAmerica Foundation Big Data Commission (BDC). Working in
conjunction with a government advisory board, the BDC will provide
guidance on how government should best leverage big data to address
critical business issues and better deliver on the mission, as well
as examine how big data can help drive U.S.-based innovation and
competitiveness. Darren House, a Data Center Technologist at GTSI,
will serve as Mr. Jadhwani’s Deputy.
“Government has embraced technology as a critical component of
mission success,” said Sterling Phillips, Chief Executive Officer,
GTSI. “Agencies need to use that technology to harness the power of
these extensive, diverse sets of data that are expanding across
government. TechAmerica Foundation’s Big Data Commission will help
identify ways to apply this data to create more efficient solutions
for better governance.”
Following the Obama Administration’s announcement to invest $200
million in big data research and development, the BDC was created
to understand the complexity and variety of data and define key
business outcomes. The Commission will focus on sensor networks,
social networks, social media data analysis, astronomy, atmosphere
science, genomics, biological and other interdisciplinary
scientific research, military surveillance, medical records,
full-motion video and large-scale e-commerce endeavors.
“Prem is an ideal candidate to serve on the BDC,” added
Phillips. “His technical leadership skills and extensive experience
in the government market will help agencies address how they can
best capture and process increasing amounts of unstructured data,
as well as manage and advance big data initiatives. As a company,
we are proud to support the effort.”
