Making data deliver for citizens
From controlling borders to identifying and protecting the most vulnerable in society, data plays an essential role. Gathering, analyzing, managing and securing that data is a major challenge for Government.
The business of governing is in many ways like any other business. So the major issues faced when attempting to optimize data use are also similar:
- Data silos
- with a wide and diverse range of responsibilities even within a single government department, data tends to be siloed rather than shared, potentially leading to inefficiencies
- Data duplication
- siloing of data leads to massive duplication, which can have cost and efficiency repercussions.
