Our Four Guiding Principles for Data Enablement
Four key principles guide how we determine and apply the right mix of data solutions for each of our clients:
Our open architecture mindset guides the creation of extensible data architectures and strategies, allowing adjustment and transformation to meet changing needs and enabling our clients to put the right data into the right hands, at scale, for maximum impact.
By treating data as a product, we optimize it for secure and convenient consumption so it can fuel advancements in AI and other applications. Integrating data products also empowers data fusion, which broadens understanding beyond individual sources alone.
We have cultivated a robust tech and partner ecosystem so that internal and external stakeholders can access the right interoperable, evergreen tools and newly driven insights for the job today, tomorrow, and into the future.
We fully implement a Zero-Trust Architecture framework and mindset to keep data secure, balancing the mission need for broad data access with the compliance need for fine-grained access control and security.
Focused on fueling advanced capabilities with productized data, our principle-guided approach to data practice modernization enables clients to deliver high-quality, useful insights and information with clear ownership and provenance for distributed decisions and maximum mission impact.

Client Impact
Booz Allen has been an integral partner in countless successful data endeavors across a diverse community of federal government clients. Check out some of our highlights and mission vignettes below:
CIVIL GOVERNMENT
Empowering Pandemic Response
Booz Allen partnered with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to build and enable advanced data and analytics solutions for the national COVID-19 response, including modernizing the Enterprise Laboratory Information Management System used by the CDC testing laboratories. Early in the response, this system enabled high testing volumes, reduced processing time, and expedited reporting for approximately half a million results before COVID testing was commercially available or supported by state public health labs. Booz Allen also played a critical role in the CDC COVID-19 response data management, analysis, and reporting through support to the Data Collation and Integration for Public Health Event Response (DCIPHER) program, which managed all COVID-19 case data reporting by helping to ingest, clean, analyze and share a magnitude of COVID-19 data including 104 million cases, over a billion test results, and 978 million vaccine dose distributions.
INTELLIGENCE
An Integrated Data Platform Purpose-Built for the IC
Across the intelligence community (IC), data is siloed and in myriad schemas—making it hard to find and integrate data during development. To address this issue, Booz Allen developed Clairvoyant—a purpose-built integrated data platform (IDP) to combine data warehousing, query tools, discovery tools, and streaming services in one solution, reducing barriers for developers and data scientists alike. Clairvoyant enabled petabytes of siloed data to be discoverable and accessible to developers in a standardized format, making it possible to interface existing data with new, containerized applications. With Clairvoyant, Booz Allen helped ingest data at scale to meet high throughput requirements, transform the data to meet analytics needs, extract common metadata to provide common query methods across disparate data sets and formats, design a portal for easy discovery of data, and disseminate through streaming, large-scale geospatial queries, and historical batch queries to enable harnessing valuable insights across a complex data landscape and support unique mission needs of the community.
