That's not a secret. Ask anyone at the company and they will say Palantir is primarily an integration company. The reason the demand so much money in for this integration is simply because no one else will actually do it despite the constant refrain of it being "only" data integration.

I actually hear this a lot. Companies with data/analytics problems that aren't being served, or, may have internal politics or technology challenges preventing them from doing the obvious data integration tasks that would benefit them. Plus, for the longest time, government and "data" work was viewed as a nightmare, boring and not "hip or cool". I've always seen that as an opportunity, one Palantir clearly has done well with.
