This effort focuses on modernizing and integrating applications and data systems, reducing technical debt and lifecycle costs, and enabling secure, scalable, near–real-time data processing and analytics to improve the speed, quality, security, and efficiency of census operations. The Decennial Transformation and Application Modernization (DTAM) project is a strategic initiative to transform the U.S. Census Bureau's Decennial Census Programs into a data-centric, cloud-smart IT environment supporting the 2030 Census and the American Community Survey (ACS).
