The U.S. Department of State is at the forefront of the nation’s foreign policy efforts. The department represents the United States and safeguarding its interests around the world. In today’s interconnected world, data is the linchpin that drives informed decision-making, fuels international cooperation, and shapes policy that resonates across borders. It should come as no surprise then that data plays an integral role in everything the Department of State does including in its Digital Transformation efforts.
