Agencies are confronting a challenge as federal AI initiatives continue to scale. The success of this ever-growing list of initiatives relies less on the AI model itself and more on connecting to distributed enterprise data scattered across legacy systems, cloud platforms, and SaaS applications. The traditional solution has been to centralize and consolidate that data, but this approach is more difficult sustain as AI demands real-time access to constantly changing mission data, and every new
