Building Your Data Platform

Online: Wednesday, September 29th | Time: 12:00-2:15pm ET / 9:00-11:15am PT

Insights to Inform Strategy, Growth, Efficiency and Improvements

The government realizes that data has the power to enable them to make better decisions and is looking to use the massive amount of data at their disposal to enable social innovation, support economic activity, and improve efficiencies and overall quality of life of its citizens 

 While public sector organizations recognize data as a strategic asset, many are still struggling to accelerate agency performance and empower their organizations with actionable data. With the huge volume of data being generated, ever-increasing data security threats, constantly evolving data management tools and technologies, the growing need for actionable data, along with greater demands of its citizens, managing data has never been more difficult or crucial in the public sector. 

 As the foundation of any data, analytics, or AI endeavor, a logical and coherent data platform is a crucial first step in any data transformation journey. Public Sector Network’s Building Your Data Platform will provide you with insights into thinking outside the box on how to maximize the value of your data, enabling improved fiscal stewardship, accountability, public policies, program effectiveness, and mission success.
