Overview
Federal agencies face growing pressure to modernize data ecosystems, automate mission processes, and deploy AI responsibly—yet legacy systems, siloed information, and compliance requirements often slow progress. IBM’s ATOM platform provides an integrated, government‑ready solution that unifies Data Fabric, Intelligent Automation, and AI/ML within a single, secure, configurable environment designed for federal scale.
ATOM enables agencies to connect distributed data sources through a semantic layer that preserves data residency and system integrity while enabling inter‑ and intra‑agency data discovery. Intelligent Automation capabilities—including RPA, BPM, and cognitive automation, allow agencies to deploy policy‑aware workflows and scale mission‑aligned automation across programs. Integrated AI and analytics modules provide preconfigured pipelines, dashboards, situational awareness, and model lifecycle support.
Powered by agentic AI and AWS services, ATOM accelerates modernization by streamlining data preparation, automating process orchestration, and enabling advanced decision support with production‑ready AI models. Its managed service approach reduces the cost, complexity, and delays associated with traditional build‑in‑place modernization projects, giving agencies a rapid, secure path to transformation.
ATOM supports federal mandates and compliance requirements, offering continuous innovation, regulatory alignment, and flexible deployment options. Whether agencies are building new capabilities or extending existing ones, ATOM provides a mission‑ready, end‑to‑end platform that enables faster delivery, reduced risk, and improved operational outcomes across the federal ecosystem.
The ATOM platform delivers a comprehensive suite of integrated capabilities that streamline data integration, automate mission workflows, and enable AI‑driven insight at federal scale. Supported by agentic AI, AWS‑aligned infrastructure, and policy‑aware design, these capabilities help agencies accelerate modernization and strengthen mission performance, including:
Data Foundations – Data Fabric as a Service: Connect distributed data through a semantic layer without disrupting operations; accelerate time‑to‑value with reusable certified components; prepare data for analytics, automation, and AI; maintain data residency and transactional integrity across federal systems. Intelligent Automation – IA as a Service: Deploy RPA, BPM, and cognitive tools within a unified environment; scale domain‑centric automation using preconfigured workflows; enable secure, monitored AI adoption; support federal mandates through policy‑aware automation routines. AI & Analytics – Insights as a Service: Use preconfigured AI/ML pipelines and reporting tools; integrate finance, mission, and public datasets for enhanced decision support; access dashboards, situational awareness tools, and production‑ready AI models; support AI readiness with model training, tuning, and sharing.
