Fed Gov Today’s Post

Transcript

In all its forms and functions is the talk of the soft community. Now. Almost every leader I talked to at Soft week on camera or off is consumed right now with getting the right data into the right hands at the right time. Joe Tabatabai an is sales director at Carahsoft. I ask him what kinds of conversations he's having with soft leaders about technology and data. So I think it's giving our customers here their awareness for different capabilities that are available now and, and. The potential for implementation for these customers through different, you know, integrations and the the 5G offerings and AIML offerings that we have to offer them with our software vendors that are here. And it's been cool to see the other side here with with these customers around more of their actual demos, virtual realities. We're going to see a really cool demonstration outside later on today. But just kind of seeing the other side of it and bringing the whole all of our customers together from around the world has made a huge difference. What kind of questions are. People asking you about various kinds of technology, maybe not even specific to one tech type of technology, but broadly what, what are some of the problems that they're bringing to you that they would like to try to solve? So they need help. Obviously, I think the camera, the camera footage has been key for them. So I think the AIML offerings that have come out, I've seen a huge uptick in that around here this year. So getting some more access to that. I think the 5G networking is the biggest differentiator this year, getting our, our troops around the world 5G where it's tough to have that Internet access. Made a huge difference, yeah. So I think giving them that offering and that's been a big ask and that's been a huge offering for a lot of our vendors around here this year. Why is 5G important? Just the ability to transmit video, to get video data back and forth between one location and another. Is there more to it than that? So the key is the video data, but also just calms in general are going to be key when it wherever they are around the world. So it's been awesome to give them that offering, give them different opportunities to really take advantage of them. Whole concept of moving data seems to me to be the biggest take away from this show so far. A lot of people talking about how you get stuff not just from endpoint to home but and back again, but also endpoint to endpoint without having to come back home. Is that something that you're hearing people talking about too across the board? That's been huge. And, and again, the fact that we have so many different of our partners here with that offering has been the biggest difference for us here. What do you take away from a show like this and what do you go back to Washington to do? In order to help to continue to support this, this customer base. So I think we share their mission with everybody and we educate the folks on our side that are doing the outreach to continue to educate them on what the differential it is for them. But we've learned here today and with that, we're going to really make sure we're giving the customer what they need to be successful with their mission. Yeah. Quick final thought. What do you hope that somebody takes away, for example, who comes here and interested in learning more about the possibilities of 5G or data exchange, those kinds of things? What should they do to have an effective experience? Show like this, honestly, they need to go out there and communicate, take their time go go across the street to the JW and, and, and take their time going from booth to booth to, to learn about the offerings, do their do their homework and then get the biggest takeaways. We'll be sure to follow.
