eBook: Data transformation – A must for digital government

Sponsored by Commvault

Advocates frequently hype digital transformation as the panacea for all public sector challenges.

From restoring trust in government to delivering evidence-based policy, ‘going digital’ is often the prescribed solution irrespective of the problem.

For agencies to successfully meet digital government objectives, including openness and transparency, and being user-driven and guided by data, they must first undergo data transformation.

The main goal of data transformation is to overcome data sprawl, a key challenge of building digital government. The magnitude of the Australian Government’s data sprawl problem is hard to quantify, but the effect is apparent with the NAA stating:

“Agencies today rarely create and organise their information assets centrally. Instead, they create and keep them in a variety of locations, onsite and cloud-based, using many formats, applications and systems. Over time, formats and systems become outdated and need active intervention to preserve the accessibility, authenticity and stability of content.”

This white paper:

  • establishes that data transformation is a prerequisite for digital government,
  • describes how intelligent data services can support agencies in their transformation,
  • considers the unique challenges agencies face, including Machinery of Government (MoG) changes. and
  • discusses the need to shift and share data assets in line with usability, privacy, sensitivity, and security considerations.

Building a mature digital government relies on identifying, transforming and repurposing data currently stored across entities and technologies – download the whitepaper today to discover more.
