Data has long been recognized as a valuable asset for the public sector. As the amount of data grows exponentially, so does its potential value – and the cost of storing and managing it.
As data becomes available from more sources, it provides opportunities for deeper insights to support planning and more effective integration between different services. Advances in technology are contributing to the possibilities of data sharing and open data provision.
But organizations are struggling to realize its potential. As the volume of data grows, the challenge of ensuring it is collected and processed with the right security and governance becomes greater. There are also big questions about how to ensure that core data is platform-agnostic so it doesn’t get locked into legacy systems, how best to manage and share it in the cloud, and how to find and effectively summarize the key elements in a vast amount of data.
Addressing these will incur significant costs and given the tight financial outlook for the public sector, it will be difficult for organisations to deal with these issues, but it is not impossible.
What approaches and technological solutions can help government agencies release their data while ensuring the data remains manageable?
