Modernization in government demands commercial innovation, yet adopting best-of-breed software often comes with challenges unique to national security and defense. While commercial platforms drive efficiency and align with recent executive mandates, they are rarely built for the complexity of military operations or stringent security requirements. Without effective integration, agencies risk mission delays, cost overruns, and underutilized technology. That’s where mission integration partnerships play a critical role—bridging legacy and modern systems to deliver speed, scale and security.
In this on-demand webinar, moderated by Michael Keating, Executive Director of Silicon Vally Defense Group (SVDG), the panel features Max Thompson, AI & Data Portfolio Director at SAIC; Michael Hauser, Vice President and Managing Partner of SAIC Ventures; and Jonny Orton, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Americas at Dataiku. Together, they share how SAIC and Dataiku are transforming mission outcomes through their five-year partnership and the creation of Tenjin—an AI/ML lifecycle platform designed for defense and government mission use cases. Dataiku ranks #44 on SVDG’s 2025 NatSec100, marking its third consecutive year among top dual-use innovators in U.S. national security.
Learn how this approach accelerates AI adoption, strengthens Dataiku’s role in the national security market, and delivers real-world applications like workforce planning for the U.S. Air Force and signals intelligence for the U.S. Navy. Watch the recording to see how innovation and mission integration come together to drive modernization, efficiency and mission success.
