It is a privilege to work with government professionals passionate
about their mission, and that is our experience overall at AWS.
When we engage with agencies to provide access to technologies
and applications, IT managers instinctively reimagine traditional
processes and incorporate innovation and efficiencies not
thought possible. They record improvements and deliver on their
missions more effectively. The greatest challenge facing all of
us as we move forward with technologies the cloud enables—
artificial intelligence and machine learning in particular—is
our imagination. It is a time to think big, imagine new ways
in which IT can deliver on priority missions of government,
and constantly rethink how we can use these tools in new and
interesting ways to better deliver vital government services.
