According to the technology company, the ordering is open to all army, US Department of Defense (DoD) and federal agencies, as well as global authorised systems integrators.

Arria NLG CEO Sharon Daniels said: “A truly data-driven culture, like the army, DoD and federal government agencies, need a data literacy strategy, that democratises data, engages its stakeholders and gets rapid user adoption. Arria humanises the way we interact with data.

“That’s how you optimise the business value of data.
