Using Data and Digital Integration to Cut Costs and Improve Public Services
In Partnership with:
From allocating resources to hospitals to monitoring environmental conditions to issuing passports, data is playing an increasingly prominent role in the work of government.
But challenges remain: sharing this valuable resource is as complicated as it is rare, and long-established silos and antiquated tech prevent many departments from truly harnessing the power of data to improve services and cut costs.
In this comprehensive research report commissioned by esynergy in collaboration with Government Transformation Magazine, Chief Data Officers at some of the government's biggest departments share how they are trying to use data management and digital integration to drag government into the digital age.
Key findings include:
63%
of Civil Servants give a ranking of 7/10 for how well data and
digital services are integrated in their department
34%
say there's a lack of recognition about the value of data externally (74% cite insufficient resources for data sharing)
47%
said that the data function rested with the Chief Operating officer and not the Chief Data Officer
