Dan Ackerman, Guident Executive Vice President, and I hadthe fortunate experience of being interviewed by Federal News Radio 1500 AM aswe were guests on “Federal TechTalk with John Gilroy”. The focus of thediscussion was the current state of government business intelligence – how thegovernment is using it for increasing efficiencies and enabling dataeffectiveness – as well as taking a look into what’s on the horizon including topics such as mobile BI, predictive analytics, Big Data, content intelligence, cost containment, and consumer intelligence.
The interview experience was great. John Gilroy is an energetic, personable guywho made Dan and I instantly feel comfortable. Even though we were in a recording studio with large microphones infront of us, John helped us feel like we were having a casual conversation overcoffee. The interview was ‘Live-to-Tape’which means while the show was not live, it won’t be edited. The pressure was on for Dan and I to giveclean, concise answers with minimal hiccups. Luckily, this was Dan’s third timeon the show so he and John Gilroy were able to help me with my rookie radiobutterflies.
The recording consisted of 4 ten minute blocks ofinterviews. Between each session, John,Dan, and I chatted for a few minutes to discuss topics for the next block. While 40 minutes seems like a long time, thesession really flew by and allowed me to become one of John’s more than 240survivors who have interviewed with him. This was truly a great experience and exciting for Dan and I torepresent Guident in discussing our thoughts on the state of current and futuregovernment affairs.
