Data Drives Government
Cloudera has developed
tools to provide public sector professionals with secure, fast, and easy methods to understand,
defend, and apply the information assets they manage.
The immediate result of the digitization of everything, particularly the widespread use of mobile
and sensor data, has been a significant increase in user expectations and an unprecedented expansion
of the digital threat landscape. At the heart of this unstoppable digital transformation is the need
to define how government agencies can use the data they collect, generate, protect, and share, to
inform better decision-making and drive mission success.
Analyzing data and taking action on it can improve operations and service delivery.
The ability to
access, process, and derive actionable information from data impacts several key areas: reducing
operational risk, deriving anticipatory intelligence, enabling constituent insights, and supporting
more data-driven decision making. This paper discusses each of these areas and how the intelligent
application of data drives the business of government.
