The Navy Ministry Information Advantage Vision (ISV 2.0)Improving the Navy’s data management will build on the Department’s 2020 IT modernization vision.
The newly announced ISV 2.0 emphasizes the shift towards zero trust, cloud migration and data-centric organizations that prioritize data analytics.
“ISV 2.0 represents our continuing commitment to securely transfer information from anywhere and enable Warfighters to act at the speed of the mission,” the Office of the Navy’s Chief Information Officer said in a statement. LinkedIn Post.
A consistent focus throughout ISV 2.0 and its various priorities is the importance of data, “ensuring that data is accessible, organized and understandable to human users and automated systems across the Navy and Marine Corps.”
