Overview

December 12

State and local governments have access to a wealth of data, yet many agencies are still starved for valuable insights. Gaining insights from data can be a lengthy process – it requires a thorough understanding of and speedy access to data, the ability to analyze data and a method to present findings for further consumption. This process has been coined as ‘time to insight.’ As more agencies seek to leverage data, many are aiming to reduce the time this process takes. By treating data like software – ensuring it’s discoverable, accessible through an API, accretive and explainable – with cloud computing, agencies can make the data fast and gain faster insights to make better-informed decisions.

Cloud technology not only makes data more accessible but also provides the firepower to use this data in unique and innovative ways. By utilizing the cloud and the right tools, every department in your organization can benefit from the insights this cross-domain data provides.
