Digital Government Needs Accessto Data in Motion
Meeting the expectations of today’s citizen is dependent upon delivering a
responsive, and personalized experience. Influenced by the apps they use tocomplete everyday tasks, citizens and federal workers alike hold a high standard
expectation for digital experiences that guide them through unfamiliar processes.
Confluent enables government to treat data as a continually updating streamof events, rather than static snapshots in time. This means you can serve yourconstituents with the most personalized, context rich services by building
applications that combine real-time data with historical and contextual data.
Confluent is an enterprise data in motion platform with open source ApacheKafka at its core. It adds the critical capabilities around security, operations,data governance, and distributed operations making it the platform of choice
for modernizing mission critical programs and workloads with data in motion.

What is Apache Kafka®?
First developed at LinkedIn by Confluent’s
founders, Apache Kafka is a distributed event
streaming platform capable of handlingtrillions of events a day. Kafka is based on
an abstraction of a distributed commit log
and has defined a new market category – theevent streaming platform. Since being open
sourced in 2011, Kafka has gained rapid andwidespread adoption across industry andgovernment, in use in nearly every department.

Building Your Central Nervous System
Event streaming puts data in motion and creates a central nervous system for your entire organization, creating a new paradigm that
supports collecting a continuous ﬂow of data throughout an organization and processing it in real-time. This means all data in theorganization—covering every team, every use case, on-prem and in the cloud, etc.— can be managed through a single event streaming
platform. It’s the realization of enterprise data as a service. Placing a data in motion platform at the heart of an organization enables
the discovery of new insights and maximizes citizen engagement by simultaneously distributing data to every application or system.
