Full-stack agile services and digital consulting firm Raft has secured the US Air Force (USAF) Data Fabric small business innovation research (SBIR) Phase III contract.
Under the contract, the digital consulting firm will provide data centralisation services to support the Chief Architect Office (CAO) of the Department of the Air Force (DAF) enterprise data architecture.
To revitalise data centralisation innovation using event streaming architecture and integrated solutions, Raft will partner with the federal government for easier and improved data analysis.
The CAO mission is aimed at easing data visibility with an enterprise data architecture prototype.
It enables users to access previously siloed data and platforms.
Raft founder and CEO Shubhi Mishra said: “Raft is proud to work alongside the airforce to leverage our non-traditional approach to building a scalable data solution that delivers real impact.
