Today's Story Highlights

Cloud Enters Mainstream in Federal IT Investment Plans
U.S. government agencies will continue to invest hefty sums in cloud
computing technology over the next five years. After that period,
spending on cloud is likely to moderate, but the amount of investing
will remain at impressive levels. Cloud computing is far from mature
within the federal government, but it has reached a point at which it is
a mainstream component of government IT resources.

Sales, Marketing Poised for AI Revolution
Artificial intelligence will revolutionize marketing in the next five
years, according to a Demandbase survey conducted last month. Eighty
percent of the 500 B2B marketers who participated in the online poll,
conducted last month by Wakefield Research, said they expected an AI-
fueled marketing revolution. However, only 26 percent were very
confident they understood how AI was used in marketing.

Tech Leaders, Trump Team Search for Common Ground
There appears to be some optimism in the air following Wednesday's
highly anticipated sit-down between the Trump transition team and more
than a dozen top Silicon Valley executives at Trump Tower. The Trump
transition team and executives who attended the summit suggested that
the two sides found common ground on a number of issues that could spur
economic growth.
